I'm trying to book a room with a bitcoin-friendly bnb. They only had CC or debit payment on their website so I shot them an email inquiring about paying with bitcoin. They asked that I send a Whatsapp message that they'd send a lightning invoice to. Problem is, I've avoided Whatsapp because it looks like they harvest ALL of your data! Am I being a bitcoin hipster or do you think I'm right that this app looks just oh no good?
I really want to book with these guys, so if you're in the, "yeah, don't get Whatsapp camp," what do you propose that I propose to them as an alternative?
