This is a value for value post: see the explanation in the footer.
I wrote about this service for the first time around a year ago before HiveFest Amsterdam. But it's worth showing you again in case you're traveling. Last year I had an iPhone X which was unable to use eSims. Since then I got a new phone and I've been using this product and it has worked pretty reliably here in Israel and in Cyprus (north and south). Next week I'll be using my eSim in Germany and Mexico.
Silent Link is the service and the particular product I'm using is this one called Data.Plus.
In order to buy it with your Hive or HBD all you do is push on that Blue Flash symbol right between BTC and Monero. Click on that and then on the next page choose copy to grab the long Bolt 11 Invoice (lnbc34....). I suggest you do this on the same mobile device where you'll use the eSim
You then copy that over to v4v.app and paste that into the Invoice box.
Under the green invoice, you'll see buttons to use Hive Keychain or Hive Authentication Services.
NEW FEATURE - Payment with Hive Keychain or Ecency!
This bit is new: if you are in your regular browser on your phone, and Hive Keychain isn't installed as a plug in, a screen will pop up with a QR code. If you have Hive Keychain installed on that phone, tapping on the QR should open up Hive Keychain for you to pay!
If you're doing this on another machine, photographing the QR should open Hive Keychain as well. If you have Ecency on another device you can also snap this QR code and it will let you sign a payment there.
I really need to do a video about this.
Once you've sent the Hive, your Lightning invoice will be paid almost instantly and you'll be able to get a link on a page like this:
It's a good idea to bookmark this page, you need it when you want to top up your eSim. There are a few instructions to follow (turning on Data Roaming for your eSim) but it's not much more than one or two clicks.
Hope that's useful, let me know how you get on if you try this!
Video demo
You can see the general flow of sending Lightning and receiving Lightning and Hive in this demo video.
Value for Value
For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.
If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.
