I need to work out how to get away from Strike. I bought bitcoin this morning to use at the market and it has not cleared for zapping still?
There must be a better way.

I use Rizful for zapping and small purchases (5k and under), and I use Blitz Wallet for everything else.
Strike is problematic for many (not to mention very KYC)
Yeah I thought I had a system working there but it is so slow. Yeesh
That sounds like they don’t really have your bitcoin…
yo @jack mallers, you've got an unhappy camper who needs support
how did you buy the bitcoin? we are probably waiting for the money to settle
Direct checking acct ive had connected for a while. Yes it is a Sunday so we are Pending not SPending.
Tough when you wish to top up your spending wallet to make a purchase. Ultimately it's my fault for not loading things up ahead of time. Im sure it will be cleared up by morning. There must be some happy medium where you are protected from abuse but for transfers of value below $50 you might give some grace for and instant access assuming everything is current and in good standing.
It is easy to get spoiled with very fast lightning payments and separating out the slow value transfers. This is very close to Very awesome.
I am trying to give everything a fair shake and need to figure out what the fastest transfer options are for each. If I have to pivot to a shit load of pre paid gift cards these guys will never hear the end of it. 🤣🫰
Fair e nuff… lol
What if your bank transfer fails? You want @strike to lose money by allowing you to transfer out the purchased sats?
Does it have to take forever? I know it is Sunday. No I do not want them to lose money. Nothing works if they lose money.
Sounds like the problem is the traditional banking system settlement time, and their hours of operation. Can't fault @strike and @jack mallers for that.
We are being pushed to using pre paid debit cards. These are the choices provided. You want a prize?
Nah, I don't want a prize boss. But here's some information for you. Their timelines are laid out pretty well, but maybe @jack mallers can get you setup for instant since you have an account in good standing

Apologies for the venting - I was able to add 
enough from other sources to complete the transfer. Can't wait to try that jerky 🔥 I'm going to see if this really takes until 1/8 to the $10 I added to be Safe to send. That seems like too long.
Thanks for that info I am hoping it is just a matter of presentation. I definitely hadn't seen Strike Instant before but that makes sense.

Here's an option. Let's show how great p2p can be. Shoot me the small amount you need right away via cashapp or venmo, and I'll shoot you the sats via strike.
Check out robosats or bisq too
Thanks I was able to complete the transfer needed today 👍👍 there are some percentage of my Strike sats that I still can't zap until their magic date.
I think I actually heard of someone describing a system that sounds like exactly what you offered to do here. Which is amazing and probably the way this will get fixed by people bringing some sort of trust or value into this transfer process.

Good luck with a solution 🤞
No problem boss. I was trying to provide a solution, not get rich by publicly trying to scam. Glad it all worked out in the end.
You can sell your gift cards to Bitrefill
Yeah Strike is gay
I am going to need to learn this
My mistaks... I once purchased an Amazon egift card through Bitrefill and decided not to use it, and exchanged it back and received Bitrefill rewards for the equivalent value, which I then used to buy sats. Hope that helps (it was last year and I forgot).
Oh I gotcha - yes I have seen bit refill might have a good use case to test next time I need to top up a wallet. Looks like some good options are out there it is just not what I was expecting at all
