Comment on Twitter is working on the ability to receive tips in Bitcoinparent

My understanding is that this is just another provider being added to their existing tip jar [0] feature. They essentially let twitter users link out to their third party cash app, paypal, venmo, etc accounts, and people can use those third party services.

This is really no different - they are linking out to Strike, a custodial lightning wallet.

A shame really, they could've supported it natively and all it would have taken is a few dev-hours.
