My Blockstream lighting has been out of service for weeks , I can send liquid on lighting but still not BTC on lighting. 🤔

Any and all details on how the “convert USD into bitcoin payments” feature works. To me this is HUGE (if I understand it correctly) the issue of tracking HIFO and LIFO is hard to explain to customers and I don’t want get into providing tax advice 🙄
It would you greet to point people that are worried about income tax/capital gains on daily transactions could deal with it this way (similar to strike I think ???)
Who won the best video sats ?
We’re already ordered orange pill shaped business cards to give to unknowing square owners. They show the steps to turn it on in dashboard or pod - this is stuff I’m giving to my fellow restaurants/competition just so BTC payments become mainstream fast !
Are you guys still associated with Rigley for the block party ?

Square has to “turn it on” then it shows up under “cash and other options” screen - I heard they might be “Turning it on” nationally in Nov 10 so het your favorite merchants on the BTC !!
The BTC transaction is tracked by square as income in US dollars and will be reported to IRS on end of year tax statement for income tax payment. But there is no conversion to fiat in the transaction so no tax there since the payment goes directly into my wallet as Bitcoin. If it grows I’d need to pay tax on the increase as normal income if I sell it in the year I got it, or cap gains if held longer than a year which is what I plan to do 🤞

I’m happy to see this moving along. Look forward to taking my first btc customer in the near future. nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsfurw04 will there be a way to connect Bitcoin users with merchants using a feature, like a public map or directory?
I contacted the people @btcmap.org and they got me on their map ASAP
Ive been using it for 6 weeks now and the sales tax is all taken care of - employees treat it like any other. I added a coinos address for employees tips that i put on our tip jar so emplyeees won’t want to avoid accepting BTC nostr:nevent1qqszggwlx85hhf7t4e27r0nc7dnl3ma2j56zcum74a63s83cxvs7slcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfducgmg50

Back on Sept 3rd when they turned mine on, I was closing and reopening the app like every 5 minutes because I was so excited for it to come online, then around 10 am it just appeared under cash and other options like a golden halo 😇🔥🎯
