Lightning Network Payments Will Be Available In Microsoft Excel

Bitcoin developer and director of consulting firm Bitcoin Advisory Pierre Rochard announced this week the launch of a plug-in for Microsoft Excel that will allow Lightning Network transactions directly from the application. Coingape writes about it.
“The software for the LND node can now be launched from the Excel plugin. With the Neutrino client, a Windows + Excel user will be able to send and receive LN payments in a few clicks, ”wrote Roshar.
Pierre Rochard shared his idea for creating an LN plugin for Microsoft Excel about two weeks ago:

“Reality: 99.99% of accountants and finance staff have Excel on their desktops. They also send the largest number of payments. The user interface for open, decentralized finance is Microsoft Excel. A plugin is a prerequisite for any crypto project. Integration with the gRPC Lightning API using C # is pure pleasure! "
In the comments to Rochards post, a user named Shane Pickens wrote:

“What looks stupid at first glance, but in fact is absolutely brilliant. Why use an app to generate an invoice and track it in Excel - just use it in Excel itself. Unfortunately, 80% of the community will not understand this. In fact, it could contribute to wider adoption of Bitcoin. ”Source https://forklog.com
