Thank you all so much for your patience while I paid out all of our contest prizes! I learned a lot about Lightning during this experience: 1. Some wallets limit users to a total balance of 1M sats 2. Some wallets won't accept a single zap of 1M sats 3. When these restrictions are removed, it works great! Here is the status of payments: @OrangeMan - PAID @𝓢𝓮𝓻 𝓢𝓵𝓮𝓮𝓹𝔂 - PAID @Tortuga - PAID @WanderingApe - HALF PAID @Compromised - PAID @MF MOON - NEEDS LN ADDRESS @NENEDIOR - PAID @4f44c444 - PAID @Dr. Hax - PAID @ƝαŢꀌαɳ_Ðгαƙ૩ - PAID @zv1689 - PAID @Brian - PAID @c160a6cf - PAID @thebullishbitcoiner - HALF PAID @calvadev⚡️ - PAID @dan 🍞 - PAID @TNStacker - HALF PAID @bold - PAID @zoé - PAID @PhillipDMcCombs - HALF PAID @Kenald - PAID If you are HALF PAID, you need to withdraw your sats from your wallet. Let me know when you've done that and I'll be able to send the other half. The end of this contest was really rough timing with an IRL event that required my full attention. Thank you again for your patience and for never doubting you would be paid 🧡

No doubt! Thanks again! Lightning does work! But the liquidity requirements and variable implementations are certainly a challenge to navigate. I suppose that is the price we pay for a free market, better than 80 telephone wires strung up through the neighborhood though!

This is the first time I've seen a contest like this, paid with the world's best asset, on one of the world's cheapest and fastest networks. 🫡 We still have work to do for developing and make grow the layer 2 and protocols built on bitcoin

This Vote For Better Money account is 🔥. I got my million exactly as promised. If they ever run a contest again, hopefully someone boosts this post to show everyone that yes, they will just hand out like $10,000 USD worth of sats to semi-random people on the internet! 🫂 ...and they'll post about the practical, real world problems that come up with the lighting providers too. Calling it like it is. 😃 nostr:nevent1qqsgy8alnrdfq8c4qyupwar4xfzjrm32ldnchwlvcrxd8fejvkxvngcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsyg95upc64qgtkznqvr9xr9lcd3dv60t0k4k4gdngjvulna2a647795psgqqqqqqsj5u2ru

Found it. Just took awhile for amethyst to show it as a zap nostr:nevent1qqsfmw9h804jvwszszjet64rk625jsgjxz7jqn5lc2tj3yte69lp0wqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyrqkpfk0kwx86c3m3qxwktdtsg8dkreryjqsn0xn9c4rf5u3g6ne2qcyqqqqqqgdcrw74

I really appreciate how transparent you've been about it too. Definitely makes you heads and shoulders above scammy shit like the "zap me and I'll zap someone" folks. I'm still slappin' stickers even though the contest is over. Thanks for helping educate the masses.

Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000. The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered. To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct. The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated. I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide. Please save me.
