The first lightning network brokerage in Canada. 2018-2021. 2022-? (Possible revival)

Maybe it wasn't the end of the road after all... we'll start with a little facelift. #LightningNetwork

[Graaf One ⚡️ @GraafOne]

@mambaventures Yeah we took a pause in April, possible reboot coming in 2022.

Though based in Canada, we may also look at the ability to use other fiat currencies to buy BTC. Here are a few proposed "bells and whistles" in our dashboard redesign:

The first time, we built our #lightningnetwork app mostly in private. This time, we want to do things a bit differently. We want to share our ideas, designs and prototypes with the community as we go along. Who knows for certain where the road leads, but for now, we build. 🛠️

@lucasdcf Thank you!

Releasing the #Bitcoin Whitepaper on Oct. 31st was Satoshi's way of scaring the fiat maxi's. Happy Halloween!

@BITC0INYouTube Congrats! 🥂

[Graaf One ⚡️ @GraafOne]

@gr0kch8n @matthewjablack At the moment we have a few entities interested in acquiring/licensing the code/IP; if all else fails we would be open to it.

[Graaf One ⚡️ @GraafOne]

@kvanderhoek75 @HSBC @shakepay Of course, I'll (@DolzhenkoPavel) probably go back to volunteering/teaching at bitcoin beginner meetups in Edmonton when COVID is over, at minimum. @negrunch is teaching Bitcoin courses in south america and studying to contribute to lightning on a protocol level

Saying Goodbye/Au revoir, Graaf is closing down trading operations on May 1st. After 3 long years, lots of blood, sweat and tears; it’s our time to say goodbye. We are proud to have been one of the many trailblazers in the lightning space; 1/

@Crypto_Mags @Vision49554174 We looked at some alternatives, we needed stable banking at the core, potentially bouncing around banks using 3rd party services is just something we decided against for our small project and at this stage in our business.

[Graaf One ⚡️ @GraafOne]

@kvanderhoek75 @HSBC @shakepay For example, we were told every single one of the crypto business bank accounts at our home branch were being closed indiscriminately, they didn't have information on other branches or why some may remain open elsewhere.

[Graaf One ⚡️ @GraafOne]

@kvanderhoek75 @HSBC @shakepay The explanation we were given made it seem like virtually all crypto business accounts save for a few would be shut down. When we asked how the selection was made for the "exceptions" they couldn't provide an answer; it's possible a few big exchanges will remain.

[Graaf One ⚡️ @GraafOne]

@kvanderhoek75 @HSBC No, it was ATB financial. It's a bit sad, the person they had in charge of onboarding new accounts was moved to a different department and that position doesn't even exist anymore. They were the "crypto friendly bank" in 2018; then they changed course.

@Bitc0inTube @francispouliot_ @BullBitcoin_ Thank you! It's been a pleasure!

[Graaf One ⚡️ @GraafOne]

@Bitc0inTube @francispouliot_ @BullBitcoin_ It could be, we've spoken to a few interested parties over the past few months but nothing concrete has materialized; as much as we love lightning, it is still a niche space and maybe not be a priority for most exchanges.

[Graaf One ⚡️ @GraafOne]

@Bitc0inTube @francispouliot_ @BullBitcoin_ Our team is about halfway moved on now, merging projects is often challenging, if someone would like to propose a way to use what we've built, we'll be happy to hear it.
