Well, here's somewhere outside of the internet where you can use LN on a daily basis.
And if I'm not mistaken, it's just down the road from you @Solomonsatoshi
I was in Queenstown this week using LN at merchants, routing all the payments through my own node. Have you been there and tried?
I'd be interested to hear what you think of an initiative like this.

Correct and I am planning a road trip in the old Hiace and maybe hiking some trails down there in and around Queenstown to see what the lightningpay.nz BTC circular economy is like there - it looks like there are a number of bars and restaurants there where I can spend sats- hope to report on this when its done, maybe in next few weeks.

lightningpay.nz have put a lot of work into building up a network BTC/LN accepting merchants in the area and it does look exciting.

In the meantime @Darthcoin keeps being a toad and refusing to attach his wallets- I cannot understand it and will keep reminding him to reconsider his position. Surely he is technically capable of attaching a wallet if I can do it most people can!

Out of interest @hgw39 why dont you attach LN wallets so I could zap you some sats?

Am not zapping anyone without BTC/LN 'horse and gun' capacity set up unless they have good reason for not doing so...and suggest others consider the same approach.

It's great down there, the people and the merchants are going for it.
More than just bars and restaurants too, activities, haircuts, even a lawyer if you cross the thin blue line!
I think that would be more fun and help bitcoin more than arguing with people on the other side of the world.
there's a meetup in your town too, i think: https://kiwibitcoinguide.org/#events
Come along and say hi.
i used to have my alby wallet connected but when SN moved to the cowboy credits i lost that, just tried to pair my node using LNC but got some errors in that so I'll work on that and reconnect.
If i run an LND node, what's the best way to connect my SN wallet?

Yes Queenstown sounds great and looking forward to going there although I cant spen more than a few days looking around and spending sats there. In Chch there is only one food outlet that I can spend sats at and though they are great food and value I dont go there more than once a month.

Here on Stacker News however I can and do use sats every day and its great- I just do not understand anyone who claims to be a serious bitcoiner not attaching their wallet so they can be part of this circular economy everyday.

We need to use the LN at every opportunity or it will not grow stronger.

@Darthcoin has a lot of followers on here so if he is not attaching his wallet others are likely to follow his example and that worries me as despite asking many time he has not come up with any credible reason not to attach wallets- instead just a lot of absurd shoot the messenger abuse and bullshit.

A lot of work has gone into enabling SNs to be a P2P V4V BTC/LN capable community and circular economy and if @Darthcoin is going to boycott and shit on that I am not going to stop raising the issue until it is resolved...its too important imo to ignore.

I use coinos wallet for LN as the fees are ultra low and its very easy to use and easy to attach to Stacker News- if I can do it most people will find it easy as I am no tech guy.

How to attach coinos wallet-
