So yeah, sure, prepare to give me a lightning address, whether it is your own address or some other lightning address... and yeah, right now I am not very comfortable with such low amounts being processed on chain.. at least right now and not without the consent of the recipient to receive such a low amount (which might be a little bit lesser of a deal if the amount were sent to an exchange address), but yeah if you are agreeable to using lightning as a substitute payment route then we could probably make that work.. .. yeah if it comes to the actual exchanging of payment information, we most likely could figure out the part of the actual confirmation of the address by PM.. and I am not necessarily going to delay, but I might not be able to pay right away, either.. we have to make sure to coordinate and make sure we are available .. depending on if the lightning network invoice expires or if it is one that does not expire.. .. all good practice, in the use of various bitcoin (or bitcoin-related) payment options, I suppose...
Appreciate all that. However, as far as I am concerned the bet is now void ... the VWA has (as we both probably expected) dropped below the $67.4k mark and as we hadn't actually completed the negotiations on the terms of the bet, no bet was agreed and so no payment is required.

I don't mind paying it.  I think that we were close enough to agreeing.  Yeah, I was annoyed with several aspects of what I perceived to be your waffling, but at least when you set forth the bet terms in a more concrete way,' I mostly found them largely agreeable, even though I was not 100% sure of your commitment to it (since the payment amounts were quite lopsided.. 100 to 1).. which both commitment to the bet and lopsidedness of the bet were a couple of my main motives for suggesting the potential appropriateness of escrow.. .. and anyhow.. as far as paying 0.0001 BTC through lightning network or something like that.. I would not have any problem with such a thing since those are generally not very costly ways of carrying out BTC (or BTC adjacent) transactions - with relatively small amounts, and I actually don't mind practicing with those kinds of payment methods (including that I am still practicing and learning) to see how they work out.

OK, if you really want to pay, here are two options:

1. on chain transaction to ChartBuddy's published address: 1CBuddyxy4FerT3hzMmi1Jz48ESzRw1ZzZ

2. Lightning transaction to me, I'm no Lightning expert but here is (what I hope is) an invoice for 10,000 sats

As far as I can tell ChartBuddy doesn't publish a Lightning address so if you choose option 2, I'll match it and send on to ChartBuddy.
