How is LUD16 self-custodial?

You can test it out, So your keys your coins . Once you get your Lightning Address you can Connect it to your node or Wallet , so behind your LUD16 will be your node. aveotero@ibi.me

Innovations such as electricity and #open protocols such as SMTP were centralized in order to be commoditized or consumerized and go #mainstream.

Email was centralized by big email providers, such as Google, Yahoo, and AOL, just as electricity was commoditized by large utility providers.

#SaaS is huge.

if Lightning will likely be centralized (we can see that because the number of nodes is decreasing while liquidity and channel size are increasing).

so I want to be or want #Bitcoin founders behind those new companies.

So my last 2024 day project was a telegram #miniapp

An app to Bring Lightning into everyone's pocket

A x: telegram #miniapp that connects the #Telegram and Bitcoin #Lightning Network #BIP112 ecosystems by issuing self-custodial Bitcoin payment identifiers known as Lightning Addresses #LUD16 to Telegram users. It's the easiest and cheapest way for Telegram users to send and receive payments globally via the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

As a use case and consumer app of the underlying technology, we have created at x: tiankii_Tech as a Bitcoin enablement platform.

A #Bitcoin Enablement Platform.

Recently, on the official X page of x: tiankii_Tech, we shared a video showcasing a quick and simple process to create or issue 1,000 Bitcoin wallets on the Lightning Network with just one click. The video might still be misunderstood by some, but what excites me most is the potential of this technology. It is not limited to 1,000 wallets or cards; it could be 10,000, 100,000, or more. And the best part is the use cases for these #Bitcoin wallets.

These 10,000 wallets could be; (1) a company issuing Bitcoin wallets to employees so they can start receiving payments, bonuses, rewards, or salaries in #Bitcoin. (2) An organization could issue 10,000 Bitcoin cards for contactless payments at a #cashless event. (3)A Fintech or a TELCO could issue Lightning wallets to its user base. This would allow them to integrate Bitcoin into their platform, giving their users the ability to have bitcoin balances, receive and send Bitcoin payments from their application. (4)A social media platform could also enable receiving Bitcoin payments for its users, and (5)why not a remote community implementing a radical financial inclusion solution by issuing tools for electronic payments and storing value in a community bank for its inhabitants?

Each of these wallets offers valuable features, such as: receiving Lightning and on-chain payments; a global payment identifier (LNURN Lightning Address); individual web access to view balances and transactions; making and receiving payments via QR; and the ability to connect the wallet to an existing Bitcoin wallet or a Self-Custody Lightning node.

Like any disruptive technology, the possibilities are limitless. We are excited to see the evolution and use cases that arise from this technology that is available to anyone via API or UI, developed within the global, open, and decentralized monetary network #Bitcoin, using open standards and protocols such as Lightning Network, LNURL, and Bolt card.

#mustsee 👀🎬 I just watched this excellent video documentary.

A masterpiece about #Bitcoin in #Spanish, recorded back in 2021 but still as relevant as ever, and it will go down in history as a key piece about Bitcoin in Spanish.

I must say that I appear in it, along with other thinkers, technologists, academics, activists, iconoclasts, etc., individuals who question the status quo.

What's interesting is that it captures an era in the history of #money and Bitcoin, during the months in which Bitcoin became #legal #tender and the first edition of the @AdoptingBTC conference, together with @labitconf 2021, was held in #ElSalvador.

I know that the Bitcoin revolution is spreading and strongly impacting Latin America. We see it in the communities and circular economies that appear every month in South America, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

By the end of 2025 there will be many surprises in the field of Bitcoin in Latin America and Spain.

Congratulations to the entire @revolucionconb team and to the sponsors who made it possible, for this gift to the family and future generations of Bitcoiners.
