Guys,

I am willing to test one of the ideas for a worldwide Bitcoin Lightning-based micropayment system (max. $50 per transfer strictly). The idea is to send a fiat/e-money micropayment across the world as cheaply as possible end-to-end. For example, send $4 from Argentina to Russia as cheap as possible, within max. 10%.

I need some testers from different countries with the Full Member+ status (no exceptions, high trust is essential) to test the idea. The following countries regions are needed:

- Europe (two countries - one Western Europe, one - Central or Eastern Europe (TAKEN), 1 tester per country)
- USA (1 tester)
- South America (one country, 1 tester per country)
- China (1 tester)
- Russia (1 tester) (TAKEN)
- Asia (any two countries, 1 tester per country)
-  Africa (two countries, 1 tester per country)

All the necessary funds to be used in the testing will be provided by me.

Please drop me a PM or leave a note in this thread indicating your country/region and I will contact you directly.

Got it at Paxful.

Exactly, that was my suspicion too. The guy wants to avoid for some reasons being connected to that transfer.

Thanks for your post, really appreciate your opinion.

My point here is that we need to avoid btc transfer fees AT ALL by moving funds (fiat, e-money) DIRECTLY into the LN wallets. This is especially important for micropayments. It does not make sense to move $5 into LN and lose $1+ on transfer fees. It becomes feasible only at $50 and up.

Imagine the scenario: Bob from the US wants to move $10 of fiat into LN and quickly send it over to Nigeria

1) He buys btc for his $10 at an exchange (he pays around 2-10% commission)
2) Occasionally, he needs to go from onchain btc to LN (losing another %)

There is huge cost inefficiency here killing the LN benefits on the spot. Entry barriers to LN are too high for small payments.  

Maybe i'm missing something here. But my idea is to find a way of sending small fiat amounts from point A to point B very very cheap using the LN as backbone.

Hi, guys!

Just wanted to expand our help options a little bit. Let's move into another thread if you don't mind:

Hi, I need $5 Cash App. Ready to go first with a higher rank member.

Please contact me via PM or Telegram @BPOVTMG

I don’t get it. You pay btc to another person to do a cash deposit.

Why don’t you sell your btc at an exchange and transfer the funds via JPay to your friend ? Why do you neee a middleman?

Thanks, really appreciate your help.

I think I have a kind of a similar problem here with my 100 sats Lightning faucet:

https://lnpay.co/t/27bad6/web

One destination node drained the faucet in a short time (node 037cc5f9f1da20ac0d60). I suspect it's just one guy doing that. I am checking with the LnPay guys if we can solve that
