#AQUAward
my Aqua lightning transaction is still pending after a whole day.
whole story----
i just met a friend of my mother's.
he said, "your mom told me all about bitcoin being the future, so I bought 100$"
he showed me his account balance: $66.
oh shoot she must have got him at $126,000.
how is my mom capable of convincing the first person she ever talked to about it to buy 100$ of the stuff?
i've never ever gotten 1 person to buy any of it.
anyway.
So he was stuck in this weird Bitcoin.Com app with a bunch of shitcoins.
so i explained what a shitcoin was and got him onto AQUA. then i proceeded to explain what Lightning was versus base layer (savings account versus spending in AQUA).
then i proceeded to demonstrate the lightning network by sending him 10$ to his new wallet.
after 24 hours it's still not there and it's stuck in pending.
i didn't know lightning transactions can be stuck in pending.
even more story---
so Michael is my mom's friend and he is super smart. he is a trained mediator. now the bitcoin network has reached out and grabbed him. i didn't tell him that he was selected by the bitcoin God to some fate that hasn't been revealed yet.
he mentioned that he worked for the oil company AMOCO in the 1990's and made a friend with one of the engineers there who always talked about inventing a new monetary system based on Units of Utility that he called "UTILS".
so i'm wondering, is there any bitcoiner out there who worked for Amoco and came up with the UTILs monetary system?
