I really question if they are jumping the gun and maybe using lightning network in the background when it is still in beta and not yet to be used by the masses. I kind of hope this is not the case as there is a very high security risk in that.
None the less though this could be a massive stepping stone to bitcoin here in the next few days!
If all those 900k people bought $1,000 worth of bitcoin it would almost be a billion dollars (Kind of puts that 194 billion market cap right now into prospective)
Pretty crazy, I wonder how many people will accepted from the waitlist by the end of February.
