Lots of Laughs with Lightning

Hey it's Friday and I figured we could use some humor. Thankfully Lightning generates a lot of that.

This week I had a user try to tell me that Lightning works and can be used for tipping. Let's see how tipping with Lightning pans out!

1) /u/majorDFT says he's been using Lightning for 4 years and that Lightning works. conversation starts here.

For 4 years, yes - /u/majorDFT

2) So I ask him to tip me 1 sat via LN to prove it. I download the Breez wallet and generate an invoice for 1 sat for me.

Awesome! So tip me 1 sat with Lightning. Heres my recieve invoice:

If it works ill tip you $1 in BCH.

3) OP of the thread who created the Lightning Machine comic already realizes he's about to experience his comic coming to life. MajorDFT is ready to demonstrate

Oh my god, it’s happening for real. Warm up the machine.

4) Turns out Breez auto tacks on $1.25 to fund my channel and passes this cost via my receive invoice. /u/majorDFT doesn't understand how LN works so he thinks I'm talking an extra $1.24 instead of the 1 say I requested. He says I'm trying to scam him for $1.00

Are you just making stuff up trying to scam me out of a dollar? Lmao - /u/majorDFT

5) I then ask /u/majorDFT which LN wallet should I use per his recommendation. He gets evasive and just keeps spamming "All of them" over and over.

All of them - /u/majorDFT

All of them? - /u/majorDFT

6) I then grab another LN wallet "Muun" which isn't tacking on this extra $1 in fees and generate and post an invoice. /u/majorDFT can be seen posting and being active on reddit since for the next 4 days but never replies. I assume he tried to tip me and failed and just dropped the topic.

7) 4 days later(today), /u/majordft claims he's still waiting for an invoice

Still waiting for an invoice ? - /u/majorDFT

8) I generate a fresh new invoice from Munn wallet and post it. And he says he's unable to tip me.

You need inbound capacity if you want money ? - /u/majorDFT

So yeah good luck tipping strangers via LN. Couldn't tip a bum on the street with LN because they need to have LN tokens first lmao.

Edit1: /u/majorDFT failed to tip me 1 sat via LN after 5 days of trying. He did however show proof of a custodial solution working by sending money to himself.
