Bitcoin businesses deserve more than just a wallet.
With OpenLN, you can:
👥 Pay staff
🧾 Run POS
💰 Collect tips
⚡ Accept payments
🏢 Manage your team
Everything you need to operate a Bitcoin-native business, all in one place.

That's what we're building at OpenLN ⚡

Bitcoin adoption in Africa is no longer “coming soon”... it’s already happening 🌍
Shoutout to @AfribitKibera for pushing real grassroots adoption forward.
How many merchants already accept Bitcoin in Kibera? 👀
Bitcoin is not coming to Nairobi; it has already been here 🔥
The Bitcoin Nairobi Conference, happening for the first time in East Africa, is bringing together curious minds from policymakers and banks to bitcoiners and non-coiners to learn, connect, and participate in the growing Bitcoin movement.
One of the highlights of the conference is the Bitcoin Circular Economy Day, where attendees will visit the Afribit Kibera Bitcoin Circular Economy and see firsthand how people are using and interacting with Bitcoin in their daily lives.
This conference is led by @AfribitKibera and @GorillaSats, with partners including @TrezorAcademy, @CapitalFMKenya, @bitika_KE, @tando_me, Talo, and many more.
The conference will be held at ASK Dome, Nairobi, and there will be lots of Bitcoin activities and pre-events.

Bitcoin privacy just took a massive step forward 🔥
Silent Payments lets you reuse one Bitcoin address without sacrificing privacy.
Simple for users aswell as powerful for Bitcoin.
Huge move from 🥷 @craigraw and the team behind @SparrowWallet.
🥷@craigraw just shipped Silent Payments receiving in Sparrow Wallet!
One Bitcoin address. Reuse it forever. Zero privacy loss.
This is one of the biggest privacy upgrades Bitcoin has had in years. Here's why it matters and what Silent Payments actually are. 🧵
Wallets helped onboard users.
OpenLN is focused on onboarding businesses.
Because the real Bitcoin economy starts when merchants can actually operate on Bitcoin.

15 years ago today, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoin for 2 pizzas 🍕
At today's price, that's roughly $1 billion worth of pizza... He has no regrets. Watch why 👇
If you had 10,000 Bitcoin in 2010, what would YOU have spent it on?
@TFTC21 This is what happens when you apply Bitcoin's design philosophy, permissionless, self-sovereign, no trusted third parties, to networking infrastructure.
Real Bitcoin adoption starts when businesses can:
⚡ Accept payments
⚡ Pay staff
⚡ Track revenue
⚡ Manage operations
OpenLN is building the infrastructure layer for that future. Explore → https://t.co/mFcESans5D
This is what Bitcoin business software actually looks like.
Not just wallets and charts.
Real operations. Real tools. Real workflows.
⚡ POS
⚡ Payroll
⚡ Tips
⚡ Team management
⚡ Revenue tracking
OpenLN is building the operating system for #Bitcoin businesses.
Most people still think Bitcoin businesses just need a wallet.
But after talking with merchants, you realize the real problems are:
- POS
- Staff payment
- Tracking revenue
- Handling tips
That’s why we are building OpenLN🔥
An actual operating system for Bitcoin businesses.
Imagine running a business where:
⚡ payments
⚡ payroll
⚡ tips
⚡ team management
⚡ revenue tracking
all happen inside one Bitcoin-native system.
That’s the future OpenLN is building.
The Bitcoin economy needs more than wallets, it needs infrastructure.
Kenya already runs on phone numbers 🇰🇪👇
- You pay rent & groceries with a phone number
- You literally do everything with it
M-Pesa made that possible in 2007 and it changed everything about how Kenyans handle money.
Tando just plugged Bitcoin into that same infrastructure 🔥
We’ve been on a side-quest, and we have good news from the other side! 40 million Kenyans now have a bitcoin Lightning Address! They didn’t need to sign up for one because they had it this entire time, attached to the phone number in their pocket!
Try it: send bitcoin to [email protected] (254 is optional). The BTC arrives as KES in their M-Pesa. ⚡ EVERY M-Pesa number works. All 40,000,000.
Wallets with LUD-09 support give you a nice clickable link to see your M-Pesa receipt. For example: https://t.co/OK0R62jNWt
Most businesses that say they "accept Bitcoin" don't actually run on Bitcoin.
They take the payment and convert to fiat immediately.
That's a Bitcoin checkout not a Bitcoin business.
OpenLN is built for something different. 🧵
9/ We're in beta right now.
Early merchants are using it. We're listening, fixing, and shipping fast.
If you run a Bitcoin business, or you're building toward one, we want to hear from you.
