If you haven’t tried @lntxbot then this thread is for you.

This bot allows anyone to send and receive sats via the #LightningNetwork on Telegram ⚡️

If you’re looking for an easy way to accept #Bitcoin tips, read on ⬇️

To set up your Lightning wallet on Telegram with @lntxbot, go to t.me/LightningTipBot, type /start, and it will create your Lightning wallet address, e.g. [e-mail] & [e-mail]

#Bitcoin

To receive #bitcoin via @lntxbot, simply type /invoice and hit send, then enter the amount of sats when prompted; a Lightning invoice will be generated.

Now you can receive sats from anyone using a Lightning wallet (@MuunWallet, @Breez_Tech, @CashApp, @Strike, etc.)

To pay a Lightning invoice with @lntxbot and spend #Bitcoin, type /pay <paste invoice> and hit send.

The bot will prompt you to ✅ Pay the invoice or 🚫Cancel
