The external vendor API service is still down. So @256D cannot function without it. Its been two weeks now. Will keep you updated.
The phase 2 development work is going great. Here #indian merchants will be able to stack #bitcoin sats even from their regular #UPI customers in #india. Few more days for tests before we can open the experiment. Also the phase2 used a different API vendor.

The phase 2 work is progressing. UPI API is still not working. Hold on.
Our banking system is having a downtime so 256D is not available for some time. Will post an update when things are working again
Howdy. Things are slow past 2 weeks due to lot of surface travels. Will post an update when there is one.

256D - Bitcoin meets UPI
Bridge between Bitcoin Lightning and UPI payments in India.
256D is going down for maintenance. Will be back in two hours.
256D in action. Paying #INR 150 to a Paytm #UPI QR Code by #Bitcoin Lightning in #India. Amazing!
Would you spend you #bitcoin with 256D in #India if guarantees that price of anything you buy will keep reducing every day? No exceptions, no volatility whatsoever.


Hello folks. Working on a new update where vendors can start collecting #INR #UPI payments. Vendor gets them directly into their #Bitcoin #lightning ⚡ wallet as sats.
This will be huge for all bitcoiners running small businesses, now they can start stacking without any extra work.
256D is now officially in @Fedi Mini apps list. Quickly pay the #Bitcoin lightning invoice from within the Fedi app and the following #UPI payment gets transferred .

This is where we are going. Will take most of this year. Small steps.Hello there 👋
Quick update on the 256D #Bitcoin #INR #UPI bridge:
We’re still down, but real progress has been made with our API provider. We’re now in the final stages of their compliance process. Every step keeps revealing new requirements, so timelines remain tricky to pin down.
We’re pushing hard and will keep you posted. Thank you for your patience — we’re now sure to be back within the next 2 weeks.
Appreciate you sticking with us ❤️
The 256D app is down. This is due to vendor Infrastructure not worling. And we dont know when it will be repaired. We are looking for other vendors for payment processing.
Hello day 3 of 256D live. This experiment with UPI connecting with #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork is going wonderful. Thank you for the early feedback from our first users! Amount limits will be gradually relax.


Hello world.
Another #bitcoin product experiment This is from #India.
The first #UPI payment bridge for #LightningNetwork. This will help settle UPI payments instantly at vendors by using #Lightning sats. Simply scan the UPI QR, pay the lightning invoice and instantly the vendor gets his #INR. The web/PWA app is currently in beta, so does not allow large UPI payments. All feedback welcome.

Remember: This is experimental software so use only the funds you're prepared to lose entirely. You have been warned.
