How can we improve our accounts settings, payments or plans?

Lightning Network Bitcoin payment option

The Lightning Network is in beta, but it allows for instant payments (no confirmations) and almost 0% fees, provided the user has a channel open. You already accept Bitcoin... and the Lightning Network is a major upgrade to way people will use BTC to make payments. If you do it soon, you will also get a P.R. boost, as it will inevitably be mentioned in the Bitcoin media.

    Accept Lightning and you have a new paid customer for life

    this could open up all kinds of new business cases for you - for example, I often have to sign up for services online and I am not yet sure if I like or need the service or not. I can either create a fake mail account or give them my real one.

    With this, you could make a portal where I give you my protonmail address and you give me a one-off email address, I could then pay through lightning to forward mail to my main address. If I decide to keep it because its useful then I can pay you either with a credit card or through mainchain bitcoin.

    This is just an idea, maybe its pretty terrible but my point is that this is a new type of payment method that is legitimately useful to have and could open up new business ideas.

    I keep my bitcoin in cold storage, My wallet is a lightning wallet, the one I use to pay for things day to day. It would be very useful (More practical) if I could add credits, donate and pay for my subscription with the lightning network. @opennode if the payments need converting to fiat, or btcpayserver if keeping them as bitcoin would be idea.

    Bitcoin and LN patents would not only allow for great PR to your services, it would also allow me to obtain an upgraded account without having to give anyone my name or credit card information. Thus allowing for more anonimity.

    Some countries like India are aresting people for buying/selling bitcoin.
    Bring it on.
    More Anonimity
