Cash App seems like a good first step cause you can easily send to Cash App from Alby using lightning. From there they can easily convert sats to USD as needed and spend the funds using the debit card.

Imagine if Cash App had lightning addresses and supported zaps. They could market the shit out of #v4v to creators for us. šŸ˜‚

Cash App should enable the cashtag as a Lightning address. Unfortunately, it still won’t be available in the regions they don’t serve.

Smaaaart! Love the CashTag LNaddress idea.

You jivin' with this notion? nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l

Working on it!

Are you planning to support nostr zaps?

Cause that’s kinda necessary for the v4v live streams

We already support zapping from Cash App

I meant that we need Cash App to broadcast zap receipts when people receive zaps to their Cash App lightning address. The #v4v live streams require that in order for artists to get paid directly and for the streams to be fun.

Great call out and it’s something that we’ll keep in mind šŸ™

Seen that Chinese laundry commercial?

Hilarious

Some feedback: I’ve spent more time than I care to admit trying to unlock the puzzle of Lightning in Cash App. I’ve never found it. If it’s intended to be discoverable, well… 😬

Click the icon on the top right of the Bitcoin screen to send a lightning payment. Click the button to the right of the sell button to generate an invoice.

Negative. Something must be borked with my account. Among other things, I’m being told my minimum send is 0.00005 bitcoin.

5000 sats min send is for onchain. Lightning doesn’t have a min amount.

Thanks for hopping in, biebs!

That’s my point. If it’s supposed to be unified, mine isn’t. The flow I see is to enter an amount to send (with a 5k sat minimum displayed as ā€œ0.00005 BTCā€), then enter and address. No LNUrl/LN Address support.

Cash App is brilliant for USD, but I no longer bother for Bitcoin. Strike is the clear winner for a fully regulated/KYC’d wallet.

You’re correct about both of those things.

That 5k sats limit is too low and something that we’re working to remove, especially for lightning when using the send flows.

As part of our nostr work, sending and receiving is on deck, but not there yet, so you can’t send to lightning addy or LNURL. It’s something we all want to see happen and are working hard to do so.

The workaround for sending 1 sat or more is to tap the QR button at the top of the applet and the paste or scan an invoice.

I also prefer Strike, but I think a lot of creators might already have Cash App. For now, I’d recommend creators to create a Strike account if the app is available to them and use Strike lightning addresses on nostr. I’ve already recommended this to nostr:npub1a377f258tzafuzdgezwjw4aplg8ze3suyzm40t6j4czcjvwp5vls5d5r4w and nostr:npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almy

Hey Shawn! Here to help! What are you trying to do and I can help navigate you to it. Also, keep the good feedback coming! It’s how we improve.

Thanks, Rock. Carlos’ video confirms that for whatever reason, Lightning isn’t enabled on my account. At least I know I’m not daft. šŸ˜…

I spent hours back and forth with support before I realized it wasn’t offered to users in New York. šŸ˜žšŸ—½

Ah, good ol' NY Bit License bullshit

The rules and regulations around NY and Lightning break my damn heart. Big time apologies for that not being available to you, frens šŸ˜ž

But I’m in TN. šŸ˜€

Here to help figure this out. I shared a message in DM whenever you’d like to work together on getting things back on track for you šŸ’š

Bruh, you're working on the weekend after business hours?? I wish I worked at a company where I cared about users like this. Wen open positions 😬?

I applied for one but I didn’t get an interview. 😐

šŸ«‚šŸ’š

Don’t give up - timing is everything

No worries, working on something that could be perfect timing at the moment…

don’t know whether ā€œpurgingā€ is a good hill to get off beat by neither

Always here!!! šŸ’š

Parachuting into your DMs 🫔

Thanks for this, Carlos. This confirms a problem with my account. None of these Lightning UI elements are present for me.

Ah that sucks. The support/chat option in app is worth checking out

I can deposit to my cashapp with lightning but I think that’s it.

I always forget about CashApp because I just don't use it. Great suggestions.

Didn’t you go on a road trip to get their Bread zine? Maybe their marketing doesn’t work. šŸ˜‚
