Roger Ver offer to OpenNode
Roger Ver, a strong supporter of Bitcoin Cash, would send an offer to OpenNode, a payment company, for $ 1.2 million to switch from Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash. This was confirmed through the official Twitter account of OpenNode, which has definitely rejected Roger Ver's offer.
On the back of receiving the offer, OpenNode said that a more open financial system is only possible with Bitcoin, making it clear that they are not willing to entertain anything else.
OpenNode is a software company that is developing a payment stack for companies. They are also working on software that simplifies the implementation of the Lightning Network channels. This can be used by retailers and the general public.
Roger Ver does his homework on the Lightning network
Recently, Roger Ver made a video on the Lightning network, sending a message to followers who have confidence in solving the problem of scaling down the Bitcoin network. He had done some research himself, covering some inconveniences. Ver detailed that off-chain downsizing using 10 billion people in Lightning Network would take more than 100 years against the downsizing of the Bitcoin Cash chain, which would take only 40 years.
I said, "I have an offer for the OpenNode team and Tim Draper [Draper] has invested $ 1.25 million in OpenNode, a start of processing payments only for Bitcoin. Well, Tim, I'm offering to match your $ 1.25 million investment in OpenNode, without equity constraints. I do not need any sharing whatsoever. All I need is for OpenNode to actually start processing payments for Bitcoin Cash, the Bitcoin version that has the most Bitcoin-ness in this regard. "
