Anyone made this connection? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_(supercomputer)

It's a well known movie, I'm pretty sure that Elon was either inspired by the movie or by the British code breaking computer from WWII. Frankly, I forgot about the movie (saw it in late 2000s), and assumed the inspiration came from the UK :)

I thought US was going to be about how uncanny this is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_(supercomputer)

Technically it’s Bitcoin Lightning. We support that because its cheap And fast and widely used (650m users).

Also we are Bitcoiners.

However we do support exchange wallets like Luno.com, VALR.com and Binance.com and are adding many more and whatever crypto they support.

As Bitcoiners we try to basically just mention Bitcoin.

We support Bitcoin lighting as a protocol because many wallets support it and it has a lot of users

Nano unfortunately probably won’t be worth supporting because of the small user base

However we’re quite open to supporting any wallet that wants to work with us

We’d love to enable itch and valve to accept bitcoin payments

We as MoneyBadger create an invoice for the customer in their local currency e.g. USD. If they pay with Bitcoin Lightning, they have 3 minutes to complete the transaction at our offered exchange rate. We take on the risk of the price moving.

If they’re paying with one of the exchange wallets we support like Luno.com, VALR.com or Binance.com we do the same, and they can choose to pay with any currency supported by those wallets.

Refunds are processed at time of refund and are for the original amount in the currency of the invoice e.g. USD but at the exchange rate at the time of refunds.

It really all just works the same as paying with a credit card overseas would if you’re paying a EUR bill with USD funds.

The stores just said what they sold. They didn’t say who they sold it to.

That seems possible too. Are you familiar with the system, or are you also guessing?

I work for MoneyBadger

This doesn't show the merchant confirming payment. Presumably you'd wait for that before leaving the restaurant. Sending payment is just the first step.

The merchant receives confirmation on the POS

This one is also cool! https://x.com/itsmaxdemarco/status/1611019316488536066?s=46

30-year snail experiment shows evolution in real-time. Wonder if this has implications for conservation strategies.
