Title: Block’s Cash App Is Finally Integrating the Lightning Network Post by: hugeblack on January 19, 2022, 06:39:03 AM Almost three years ago, Block CEO Jack Dorsey said
Quote “We don’t think it stops at buying and selling [bitcoin]. We do want to help make happen the currency aspect.” there were plans underway to integrate the scaling technology with Square’s Cash App. - The Lightning integration is made possible by the Lightning Development Kit created by Spiral[1], which is funded by Block. - Cash App customers will also be able to send bitcoin to any compatible wallet that accepts Lightning Network payments.

I see they are hiring a lot of people and not just for Spiral, but they recently posted job requirement for new hardware wallet they are making. Jack Dorsey is very serious about Bitcoin and I have to say that I like him more now, than before when he was head of Twatter. I think he even created special fund to help Bitcoin developers get deserved donations/paychecks. Interesting thing about Spiral: Quote Spiral Grants https://spiral.xyz/Get paid in bitcoin to work on bitcoin. Our grant process financially supports developers and designers in over a dozen countries and counting.

Bummer that buying on Amazon using Lightning+Purse.io would've been sick.
