Not sure I agree with you there. I think the majority of people using lightning are using no-KYC custodial wallets like ours and Wallet of Satoshi which offer decent privacy without any difficulty. Of course you're trading convenience and privacy for trustlessness in those cases but for small spending amounts that might be ok for many people.
Installing Tor Browser or Orbot is a pretty easy additional step people can take to avoid leaking their IP to us. E-cash is another good step forward because you can use it to transact without even having a pseudonymous account that the custodian can link payments to.
Ark is coming soon too and we're hopeful that it'll be another big boost for privacy and scalability on bitcoin with a simple UX.
Hi Anita, I was just able to redeem a 21 sat card from tipcards.io -- what issue were you having specifically? Did you get any kind of error message or what step did it fail at?
Almost all the merchant payments we process are done over the bitcoin lightning network so the transactions are not publicly visible as you seem to be implying.
No plans currently. There's a community-contributed woocommerce plugin here: https://github.com/reddatos/coinos-woo
Is there some platform you'd like to see support for?
Will you get sales if you accept Bitcoin as payment?
99% of the businesses we onboarded in Vancouver are.
When you accept Bitcoin, it opens you up to the Bitcoin community from the free online promotion we give your business.
If you don't accept Bitcoin, the Bitcoin community doesn't know about you.
Does Robert Kiyosaki like Bitcoin? See what he said here.
Oh nice, thanks! I don't see the DM yet but will sort that out later. Supporting Ecash from other mints is one of our next priorities.
So I tested it in Primal, and it works fine. But it's not working in Amethyst. That means either there's an issue on Amethyst's side, or some FUBAR problem specific to my Amethyst configuration. nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tch2deau and nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev, any idea why Coinos.io NWC is working in Primal, but failing in Amethyst?
Can you share who you're trying to zap to so we can see what the receiving lightning node is and make sure we can reach them?
I think we may have just resolved some issues with Tor connections reaching our server if you want to try again

I'm assuming cloudflare is in the mix somewhere. Now that #Amethyst is fully Tor-enabled, this will come up more. I can't quite put my finger on the exact combo, but it goes right through when I start switching Tor off for some of the relays.

Hi it's not intentional if that's the case. We'll try to look into it and get it resolved. We do have dedicated onion services for our webpage vm7h454g5hiy2nt3u5o7evtz3vigtypo2mkyausakvdkbmd7wpyhx5qd.onion and mint pcc6c5dyf6562teaqfgawd4swyjfr64xsqwys3cr5c7xq6gzgx4w63yd.onion
Does nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev charge a fee for zapping?
Nope
All my test zaps from minibits via NWC in amethyst are succeeding at the moment. Takes maybe 3 or 4 seconds but haven't had any failures yet.
I'm not sure I understand where the problem lies. That lnurlp url loads for me. Is it just that minibits can't get a payment off to our node?
That doesn't sound right. Have you tried recently? Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing so we can try to address it?
