Anatomy of Today's Payment Networks and Bitcoin
summary
Built and shipped the world's first lightning powered payments device in Europe that blends Lightning and MasterCard so a card-funded payment can be sent over Lightning or a Lightning invoice can be shown at a POS and settled through the card rails at authorization. Claims include instant finality vs card net settlement, real costs like 1.2 million a year pre-product and 2.5 years of approvals with Visa/MasterCard, and a working prototype that routes fiat payouts to merchants while buyers pay in Bitcoin.
