Yesterday @brainoflondon announced that he's working on bridging Lightning and Hive and he has a funding proposal in that regard which I have voted and would encourage you to do the same. So, basically what this man has accomplished is making tipping Hive users through lightning network possible.

For more details on how to create your own Hive account lightning tipping QR I suggest reading the above announcement post of @brianoflondon. It's pretty easy to create such a QR and get yourself tipped like I did.

I posted yesterday a tweet with that QR for whoever sees it and wants to tip me HIVE through lightning network. So basically when you tip someone this way, you're actually sending a few sats to that lightning address which automatically transforms the sats to HIVE tokens and pushes the HIVE to your accounts wallet.

The lightning node is held by Brian so you don't have to set up one in order to be able to use this feature. Who do you think has tipped me through this quite amazing new Hive feature first? Well, it's the one and only @nathanmars, who's back again rocking it with promoting Hive and being a true WEB3 advocate.

Nathan sent me 1777 Sats worth of $HIVE with the following message:

Loving this BTC lighting with HIVE
Fix the inflation. Fix the world = #bitcoin
Fix the #censorship Fix the world = #hive

Well Nathan, I wanna thank you for paying for my yoghurt today with your BTC lightning to HIVE tip. I love this feature as well, I love crypto and I sure hope we can "heal ourselves" from inflation thanks to crypto.

This is how your tip looks like in your wallet

I don't know if Brian has enough votes for his proposal to be funded, but I sure hope he nails "the deal". Hive is one of the few blockchains out there that constantly delivers and such a work that Brian has carried out with this type of tipping available for us is showing how wide blockchain technology can spread its tentacles.

I don't know the exact mechanics of this tipping tool, but it's progress, it's the type of progress that I love and will always praise. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day, thanks @brainoflondon for your work and @nathanmars for your tip. See ya later.

Thanks for attention, Adrian
