Thank you all so much for your patience while I paid out all of our contest prizes! I learned a lot about Lightning during this experience:
1. Some wallets limit users to a total balance of 1M sats
2. Some wallets won't accept a single zap of 1M sats
3. When these restrictions are removed, it works great!

If you are HALF PAID, you need to withdraw your sats from your wallet. Let me know when you've done that and I'll be able to send the other half.
The end of this contest was really rough timing with an IRL event that required my full attention. Thank you again for your patience and for never doubting you would be paid π§‘

Yeap! Again it proves how lighting fucked
No doubt! Thanks again!
Lightning does work! But the liquidity requirements and variable implementations are certainly a challenge to navigate.
I suppose that is the price we pay for a free market, better than 80 telephone wires strung up through the neighborhood though!
Congrats all winners!!! Btw I was never zapped for my first sticker slap
This is the first time I've seen a contest like this, paid with the world's best asset, on one of the world's cheapest and fastest networks. π«‘
We still have work to do for developing and make grow the layer 2 and protocols built on bitcoin
Confirmed received. β‘οΈπ«‘
Thanks nostr:npub1kns8r25ppwc2vpsv5cvhlpk94nfad76k64pkdzfnn704th2hmcksgq3582 ! Can I still go out and put up more stickers?
thank you for hosting such a fun contest and promoting bitcoin in such a creative way! :)

Yes feel free as long as you are in the USA since this campaign is focused on America. If not, put up nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 stickers instead.
Ok, thanks yes in the US. I entered the contest but unfortunately I got really sick and wasn't able to put up enough stickers to win a million sats.
This Vote For Better Money account is π₯. I got my million exactly as promised. If they ever run a contest again, hopefully someone boosts this post to show everyone that yes, they will just hand out like $10,000 USD worth of sats to semi-random people on the internet! π«
...and they'll post about the practical, real world problems that come up with the lighting providers too. Calling it like it is. π

It's on one of your replies to the first winner announcement post. I'm not sure which at this point π
Just click through them and you'll find it.

thank you soooo much!! I started running my own node with nostr:npub15klkdfx9sh3y096a5jf895rcvkmkzvly2fm9dgxq6huqhp9576jsav4m73 because of this event seeing as I donβt like being limited π«‘
I really appreciate how transparent you've been about it too. Definitely makes you heads and shoulders above scammy shit like the "zap me and I'll zap someone" folks.
I'm still slappin' stickers even though the contest is over. Thanks for helping educate the masses.
Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.
The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.
To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.
The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.
I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.
Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.
Please save me.
