I'm interested to know how much extra the extended care was going to cost each parent.

Whether it's CC processing fees or Bitcoin transaction fees, the parents are still paying fees. Am I missing some context here, or am I completely off of the mark altogether? I'm all for business accepting Bitcoin, but it's not like fees disappear because you use Bitcoin.

Compare 3.5% of the transaction cost for a credit card vs. a couple of cents maximum for a Lightning network payment.

Thereโ€™s over 900 families at our school, majority use the after school program. Give or take itโ€™s $50 per family. The fees donโ€™t disappear but they would be significantly lower with bitcoin payments over the lighting network at an avg of 0.3-0.5% vs the 3% paid to credit card fees.

As an nyc business operator, I'm ready for this!

Did I see you say you run a ramen shop? Where can I find you? ๐Ÿœ

My wife and I own Tampopo Ramen in Washington heights, tampopo Kitchen - sushi and udon noodles. And The Expat- gastro pub.

I have been there before! Love that place.

Wait, are you also one of the owners of the Handpulled Noodle?

Can we talk about how bitcoin fees can easily go up to $20 per transaction?

You can talk about it all you want but nostr:npub1jugar2agq6369p0l86razavs9shj2p6pscxecevs8j94ap37hkqsjlfc28 makes software for the Lightning network where thatโ€™s not really an issue.

Can Breez open a channel with me? Can I open a small channel with Breez? Don't you technically become custodians to my funds if I use your app directly instead of using my own lightning node?

No. Thatโ€™s not how it works at all.

Tether on bitcoin reduces one of the frictions at least for now ๐Ÿค™
