Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey still has not confirmed that he was awarded the second Lightning Torch on Tuesday, and does not respond to multiple requests by bitcoiners.
Exactly a year ago, Dorsey received the first iteration of the torch, which has become a popular symbol in the world of , and passed it on. However, the newest pass to the CEO is something of a mistake since the Twitter founder never requested the torch.
Without a request, there’s no invoice for the transaction – as is customary in these transactions. With no invoice, Dorsey has no obligation to pass the torch along. In other words, a Twitter user may have just donated a pile of satoshis (smallest units of bitcoin) to Dorsey.
Almost immediately, after Pictosis co-founder Xavier Iturralde confirmed he sent the torch to Dorsey, Twitter exploded with responses. Many users expressed shock the passer wasn’t aware of the purpose or procedure of transferring the torch.
@xavieriturralde @jack @lightning @bluewalletio @tippin_me Did you just send it to him with tippinme without him asking for it?

Only Dorsey can pass the torch, and that can only occur if he’s willing to participate in the “Trust Chain” again.
In either case, Iturralde claims he has a backup of the torch in case the CEO does not pass it.
Meanwhile, multiple bitcoiners are unsuccessfully trying to reach the CEO.

Can you confirm and then send it on it's way?
