A Ukrainian citizen was recently sent cash in Poland from Miami, US, via Bitcoin’s Lightning network and a bit of assistance from a BTC developer who helped the citizen download and set up a crypto wallet on phone.
Those over at CNBC then captured that QR code using the scan mode in crypto wallet of their own and transferred over 50,000 sats with the transaction fees amounting to a negligible amount.
The Lightning Network enables you to push the limits to transact the smallest unit available — 0.00000001 BTC, or one Satoshi.
While you can look at the blockchain and point out that this transaction opened a channel, you won’t be able to tell what’s going on inside it.
