Bitcoin / Project Development / Let's start a lightning service provider (LSP). Who's in?

on: September 08, 2023, 08:14:32 AM

Hey bitcointalk.org members! I need your help, I'm looking for co-founders for a business idea to make an LSP. I've been thinking about the Bitcoin project/movement and the long-term benefits of Bitcoin. I am sold that taking on the payment card industry giants like visa and mastercard is definitely a powerful motivator in that it can bring obvious huge savings for regular everyday transactions. I am convinced that lightning has the capacity to achieve this goal, even though not everybody is convinced lightning will be a success yet. The pot is simmering with activity at the moment, businesses are popping up here and there that are accepting lightning, but I want to help the cause by bringing this activity to a boil, so that we see businesses popping up left right and centre. Hyperbitcoinization is the goal. The company would be profitable by charging a fixed fee for businesses to accept lightning in their brick-and-mortar store, and hopefully, this fixed fee will undercut the payment card giants. So monetization is obvious and built right into the business model. Unfortunately, I hate sales, and a key component of this business would be "pushing"/selling the whole concept of Bitcoin to local businesses. I am a software developer and bring some technical skills to the team, but I am not a business person, HR specialist, finance guru, or marketing genius. Sincerely, I need your help. Marketing in particular might be tricky since a lot of people see Bitcoin as a risky investment, or some even as a scam. Selling this product will be hard work, take years, and for all team members involved, there is potentially little or no reward. To be motivated, you have to see the bigger picture and share the optimism I have that there will be success for the movement as a whole. One day, this product will sell itself. Today is not that day. The first steps and key players I will need in the beginning are somebody who can organise investment, and somebody who can organise sales; but if you can contribute in other ways please don't hesitate to reach out. Investment doesn't have to be immediate. It can be contingent on things like having a certain number of customers signed up or other requirements. Mostly, we need this to motivate a sales team. The incentive for getting involved in our business early on will be shares in the company. If Bitcoin is going to be a huge success, I see no reason why a business enabling businesses to use a payment network that undercuts visa and mastercard shouldn't also be a huge success. If you can help, please reach out. Let's bring value to the world together. Thanks for your time Jack

Other / Meta / Where should I post my announcements?

on: December 27, 2022, 01:02:51 PM

Please, can you help me? I have two projects that I would like to announce. One is a cryptocurrency exchange that supports trading between BTC and XMR. The other is a bitcoin gambling game. I'm not sure if it is appropriate to announce them in this forum. If it is appropriate, which section of the forum should I announce these projects? I found the Project Development section of the forum. I will announce my projects there. Thank you for viewing my beginner question! [moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]
