Hello my fellow Steemians and Crypto investors,

I’ve been working today on a hands on article about how to do micro-payments on the internet with the Eclair Lightning Network wallet for Android.

So far so good but it’s taking longer than I thought. In some ways Lightning Network reminds me of the early Internet, it eventually works, but you’d have to go through a lot of technical hoops just to send a simple email.

Things have changed so much! Right? Now small children and their grandmas send emails all the time. With a swipe of their finger they can contact anyone, anywhere in the entire world in seconds. It's still amazing when you think about it! Well, the same thing is happening with payments, it’s only a matter of time now.

Opening my first Lightning Network channel!

My first Lightning Network channel ever has been created! It's now waiting for confirmation on the mainnet

I can see the infrastructure being built and how pretty soon we’ll be sending and receiving micropayments over the internet without even realizing it. Mark my words. It’s coming!

In the meantime I’m sharing these fun memes I created at imgflip.com/memegenerator (while waiting for the confirmations on the Bitcoin main network to fund the channel) and some sneak preview screenshots of the advances so far with the Eclair Wallet app.

Hope you like the memes and resteem this post! Also, please share your experiences with LN. Stand by for the full hands on article by tomorrow!

  1. Accumulating patiently like a professional hodler.

  2. Panic selling like a hopeless noob.

If you answered 1, go ahead and download Crypto Millionaire from the link below. This app will help you diversify in a smart way, especially right now that' it's such a good time to buy the millionth of supply of top coins on the cheap.

If you answered 2, sell everything and become a pimp. It's the only way you will be able to keep selling bottoms, haha!

i'm glad lightning network already been implemented, because bcash is stealing some money from bitcoin, bcash is not an alternative to bitcoin when it comes to micro-payment.

can't wait to read your full article about this.
btw nice meme ;)

Awesome Memes!

It really does seem like the early Internet. I think it will come together quickly though!

Lol, I remember people saying that it was going to be super expensive to open your own lightning channel and how it was going to end up being so centralized.

This proves them all wrong, it's so cheap and easy!

Is it possible to say how much is Bitcoin's througput increased by Lightning Network?

buenos días ...felicitaciones por tu nuevo proyecto....saludos
