Buy Coke With Bitcoin Using The Lightning Network

[prashadraj205000]

One of the Spanish hardware hackers has addressed the concern about Bitcoin’s hurdle and its adoption. According to the hacker, Bitcoin’s mass adoption as a payment system is due to its usability and instant micropayments. The hacker has built a vending machine that uses Bitcoin as a payment system using Lightning Network in order to dispense the drink.

This is an example of how the lightning network can be used into thousands of different services. It also acts as a demonstration of the open source nature of the blockchain technology. The slight existence of the blockchain technology helps make things possible.

I thought the "coke" being sold was of the illegal variety that's available in the darknet. Hahaha.

But good job by the hacker. This opens up Bitcoin for new forms of micro-payments for the real world, maybe something like short-time rental type services like Lightning-enabled airport trolleys or Lightning-enabled parking meters.

OP, I believe this qualifies in the Lightning Network topic. Post it here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4638321.0
