Heute war ich der erste Kunde, der in der SPAR-Filiale #Thun mit #Bitcoin bezahlte. Dank @DFX_swiss fallen für SPAR lediglich 0,2% Gebühren an.

b-b-b-but no one uses Lightning! 🤣 blocks may not be full, but a large portion of traffic has migrated off-chain, growing at a steady rate ...what if I told you, that anyone can join the LN, deposit some sats, and compete w/ the likes of Block? ⚡️ at @Lightning Labs we've…
The biggest news at @TheBitcoinConf just dropped. @milessuter shared that the c= routing node is earning 9.7% APR on its bitcoin liquidity (which I’d estimate at ~$10M, 50% of its 184 BTC of public capacity). True non-custodial yield based on the utility of bitcoin payments. ⚡️
congrats to the team who built this and all Lightning builders as this only works with a strong ecosystem of routing nodes. incredible to see this going live! ⚡️🧡
spend your bitcoin at @Square terminals. merchant can choose to hold the bitcoin, or auto-convert it to fiat in real-time. try it at bitcoin 2025 today. rolls out to more sellers this year.
Today at @SteaknShake, we've seen a glimpse of the future ⚡️💸🌐! Major shouts out to @speed_LN and ofc the hard work of the team at Lightning Labs 🫡 The Taproot Assets Protocol is the standard that enables stablecoin issuance on Bitcoin, and USDT to be sent+received over the…
Congratulations @SteaknShake on a seamless bitcoin payments experience, and shoutout to @speed_LN for an excellent integration! I paid for my burger, beef tallow fries, and chocolate milkshake with USDT on LN, and @SteaknShake received BTC. Worked like magic. Now to eat…🤤😋
We’re hiring a Lightning Evangelist! Do you have a passion for educating communities about bitcoin, connecting with developers and users across the world, and growing a multi-asset Lightning Network? Join us to help build the future of bitcoin! ⚡
Now is a good time to show support for Bitcoin Core. Not because Knots can achieve anything (it can't, it's been discussed endlessly). But because people are confused, angry, and are being manipulated by their influencers to believe the team behind Core can't be trusted.

We are excited to introduce x402–a new open source payments protocol built on HTTP rails. Let’s break it down:
My god, this blows my mind. Paid a 100k sats invoice from two different Cashu mints at the same time. Each contributed 50k sats. This is going to a major game-changer for @CashuBTC wallet UX. Let me explain multinut payments.
HOLY SHIT, IT'S WORKING! Paid a single 1500 sat invoice from two Cashu mints with a balance of 1000 sat each using an atomic multinut payment.
Join us Thursday, May 15 at 9am PT/12pm ET/4pm UTC for the next Taproot Assets Community Call! 🥕 We'll discuss transforming Lightning into a global FX network, updates for stablecoins on bitcoin, and how developers are building interoperability with multi-asset LN. RSVP below!
Amazing news: I have just received confirmation that Bitcoin payments will be rolled out in all Swiss Spar supermarkets asap after successful pilot in Zug and another one in Kreuzlingen this week.
First Bitcoin payment at a supermarket in Switzerland – Spar in Zug, impressive implementation by @DFX_swiss. Just scan a static QR code, send sats, immediate and easy registration by the cashier. If enough people use it, it may be rolled out in the whole country.
1/7: Lightning Node Operators say they spend too much time researching which nodes to open channels towards. So, in Lightning Terminal, we introduced AutoOpen, a tool to automatically open channels designed to improve betweenness-centrality and lower costs. 🧵⚡️
Bitcoin Core v29.0 was released! It is available from: bitcoincore.org/en/download/ Release notes: bitcoincore.org/en/releases/29…
