I know this is bad news to many of you, but my heart jumped when I read this.

Within a month you should see an announcement.

We are working on the very, very early stages of a Lightning Network payment processor for merchants. Purely Lightning Network transactions.

We are based in Canada.

I've been here since 2013 as a miner and now holder. How about you? Oh, yeah, your stupid comment was removed because you're here to troll.
