I will help you onto lightning by giving away bitcoin. Seriously.

Lightning Network get a lot of fud even here in this sub. I suspect a lot of you guys haven’t yet actually tried it. It really is a lot easier than i think most people expect, and here is me trying to prove it. I suspect that the big hurdle right now is that you have to move your coins onto the lightning Network, so the idea behind this post is actually giving away MY satoshis so you do not have to do this to experience lightning. Hopefully some other experienced lightning-users will join me if this ends up a costly adventure. (Please lets keep this thread focused on giving people the first experience with lightning)

HERE’S the plan: -Go download Wallet of satoshi. This is a really really easy lightning Wallet. It IS custodial, but ignore that for now

-post your adress/qr here, it would be cool if you added your country, but no pressure. I will send you some sats as soon as I can. I will answer you when i do, with the amount and the cost of the transaction. IF someone else wants to join me, just send sats, and answer the post in the same way.

-when you recieve the sats, congratz! You have bitcoin in the lightning Network. Find a friend, pay it forward.

-Should you choose to explore this further, go download breez Wallet. You now have a non-custodial Wallet, and you can create an invoice (recieve via invoice) for yourself and pay from Wallet of satoshi and my sats. No risk, its someone elses money. You have now made your first transaction and is probably starting to Get it.

-With the sats well placed in breez, go to the apps-section from the top left corner. Pick the lightning roulette app, fund with 20(!) sats (press «open in Wallet»), and gamble HALF of your deposit. Then go to the menu and press «withdraw using webln», and watch your remaining sats return to your breez balance. How cool is that?

-now: IF you want to experiment with moving YOUR coin onto breez, you have to make an on-chain transaction(recieve via btc adress) but breez assumes that you want any bitcoin on the lightning Network, and any recieved coin wil be on lightning. There are fees.

-go read about lightning Network!

-Lets keep this going: when you are done, if you can, return as many satoshis back to me as you can, that way i can give them to more people, and we give them the same experience.

Edit: this really took off. I will keep up for as long as i can. Upvote and spread to friends. Give a friend some sats and lets just see how far this goes.

Huge thanks to all those who helped sending sats, you are legends. I went to bed, and woke up to all of you stepping up to the plate and contributing. Kudos!

Edit: No, you are not too late! I will keep sending and a lot of others are helping, When you get some, you can help as well. Lets just keep this noe going for anyone interested/curious
