Reports have it that Jack Dorsey's Twitter is currently testing the use of tips on the platform using Bitcoin on the Lightning Network. This will likely use the services of Jack Mallers' Strike. Furthermore, the new function is rumored to support both custodial and non-custodial wallets.[1]

A leaked image is released by developer, Alessandro Paluzzi, as to how the feature would probably look like.

Jack has already made hints about it several weeks ago when he made statements regarding Bitcoin and Twitter's future.[2]

However, it seems this development is not that interesting at all given the fact that the Bitcoin Lightning App Strike implements KYC. John Carvalho, for example, who used to be an executive of Bitrefill, expresses his dismay on Strike's KYC/AML screening requirements.[3]
