That's so awesome! It really is a great feeling to pay for things in Lightning.
But don't forget - WoS already supports bolt cards! You could have tried it out last night too :)

Attended the first ever Bitcoin Meetup at the Fox Hotel in Melbourne, Australia last night and it was truly awesome to see the dedication and sanity in everybody very clearly. If you live in Victoria, then I highly suggest you come along to these monthly (?) meetups organized by the most dedicated bitcoiner I know personally.

Also the place has been orange pilled and they accept lightning now! Paying for over ~100 different beers or getting your friends back for shouting you has never been easier and quicker when you're actually at the counter. It's quicker and easier than dealing with physical cash and the near instant settlement of money makes it clearly the merchant's choice at the end of the day.
The feeling of drinking your first drink by paying with Lightning was surreal and something akin to making your first bitcoin transaction ever.
Did it work?? Is this real!?
We just actually exchanged money didn't we?
Why the fuck is the rest of the world not using this technology!
How do we orange pill everybody?
Cannot wait to see if https://voltpay.app/ is going to be rocking at the next function so bolt cards can be used.
Good times were had by all and the actual enthusiasm for Nostr and actually exchanging our contact details was great to see. Only had to give out my actual npub once over telegram while every other encounter was flawless! 🧡💜🤙
To many more! And thank you Clodagh for hosting us! True bitcoiner and Nostr spirit in her as a self-thinking individual :)

Good to know!
Will defo be trying it out in my spare time then! Pretty sure we were using WoS as the PoS unit but on a iPad Pro. No NFC sadly. Cheers 😊
Oh and the feeling of lightning payments is amazing... but I utilize it for online transactions and zapping primarily; so to see our collective vision and dreams regarding Bitcoin and it working as a superior currency come to fruition through the hard labor of so many was truly outstanding. Going to be a pivotal moment in my life for sure.
