This is INCREDIBLE! Wish I could just walk into a store and do that.
For as long as I code, I will contribute to #Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Satoshis must flow to all humans around the world.
If it is a Bitcoin conference, it must accept $BTC!
Proud to see TheBitcoinConf running nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsymkvl9 with nostr:nprofile1qqsvn0dkjt80raqrxd470c98n7zrdehmcvj6p5hgw3kyku6zyd8z0fqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0u3n0wh plugin!
It's obvious - Lightning has matured so much since I first integrated it in nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsymkvl9. It is now ready to help us 🍊💊 everyone that wants to use Bitcoin for commerce.
It's as easy as a regular credit card experience - tap to pay!

I spent over 4 years at nostr:nprofile1qqsvn0dkjt80raqrxd470c98n7zrdehmcvj6p5hgw3kyku6zyd8z0fqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0u3n0wh coding and helping build fiat on and off ramp - at the end of the day, we need interference for legacy systems.
In the last month, finally the two pieces are connected with the plugin:

This plugin is heavily based on work Marfusios (https://mkotas.cz) has done, and me and nostr:nprofile1qqspyj93dt9uvc7k9gx05slhulzu664ectrdk0smvdu0q8nv9csw6jcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue07fyxsq have tweaked it for all the merchant vendors in Nashville.
An exciting week is ahead for us at #Bitcoin2024! Thanks to everyone who helped power it with Bitcoin payments.
I can't wait to see Trump, Ross and David Bailey Bolt Cards in action. Hit me up if you see me on the conference floor; I might have one for you 😘
Finally, kudos to nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnfw33k76twwpshy6ewvdhk6qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aq93vhd7 for helping make this happen ✊🗽

I have an idea. All the store needs is a sign with a QR code.
When a bitcoin freak scans the QR code, the freak is taken to the Strike tipping page like https://strike.me/odell/
It says Tips, but it can be used as a POS. Say you owe your bartender or dry cleaner $21.00.
Simply scan the QR code. Enter $21.00. Pay the invoice.
The merchant gets paid in sats or fiat. It can work at your local coffee shop or Wendy's. Nor does it require training employees how to accept bitcoin.
