Incredible, @apshamilton , and many thanks for this thorough explanation about that Hive / Lightning Network integration! I knew that the LN mechanism could be implemented virtually on any blockchain, but had no clue that @brianoflondon had made it a reality in Hive's case!!
Our cryptoeducation network here is still nascent and small, but I'm for sure gonna share this data and extend an invitation to the LN Salvadorans users - and, why not, all Latin American BTC user I know of - to hop on that Hivewagon 😊.
Yes, I think its a real opportunity to both provide the next stage of financial inclusiveness (earning interest on savings) as well as introduce LN Salvadorans to the possibility of earning on Hive from their content and then being able to immediately turn those Hive earnings into Sats that they can buy food etc with.
I'm certainly not alone in wanting to see first hand accounts of the new BTC economy in El Salvador so there is plenty for new users to post about.
Might be worth creating a collection of first hand accounts using PeakD's curated collections feature.
Absolutely! I haven't used that curated collections feature yet, but will look for it. There are so many options available on Hive 🙃.
Could we imagine creating a specific front-end for Salvadorans LN users wanting to publish on Hive, similar to LeoFinance's Hive based own webpage? I could publish info about it on Twitter, and who knows, perhaps Nayib Bukele would like it, and echo the initiative? @acidyo @brianoflondon
