Bitcoin maxis were yelling at me that "nAw itZ maCH BetAr!1!"

It's not.

Decided to try it one more time + their other recent tech.

I have Zeus wallet (on GrapheneOS) with an embedded Lightning node (LND), and I've opened a channel with a pretty big and stable LN node.

So, as you can see, I was trying to do it in the "proper" way. Or maybe, is the proper way when both have a Wallet of Satoshi?

Merchant obviously tried to get these BTC from me. He was generating invoices, something looked in the wallet settings, and all four times I got the error that is on the screenshot.

I paid with cash, and left.

Today I tried 4 times to pay for ice cream using a phenomenal crutch called Lightning Network.

And I always got the error you see in the screenshot.

Even though the merchant was using Wallet of Satoshi (essentially an Excel version of Bitcoin), that is, even with this level of centralization it was not possible to take advantage of this wonderful technology.

Explained to him that with Monero he would have no problems with on-chain payment, that the fees on the network are $0.02 dollars + privacy by default.

He said he would create an XMR wallet.
