attention Bitcoin+Lightning devs in SF 🌉

you don't want to miss this!! 👇

Did you know one of the biggest ewallets in Mexico supports Lightning payments?

bazsúperapp with over 10 million users owned by Don Ricardo Salinas Pliego has soft launched lightning payments in the wallet in collaboration with IBEX ⚡️

No shitcoins.

Everyone interested in contributing to LND during the Summer of Bitcoin 2024 check out the Distributed Mission Control project: summerofbitcoin.org/project-ideas-…

Looking forward to work with the brightest upcoming devs in the space 🚀🚀 #lightning #bitcoin

just snagged the last ticket (at this tier) via LN!

the $400 payment (600k sats) was completed in 1.5 seconds w/ a 0.07% fee (7 bps, $0.29 actual), routed thru the network via 3 hops ⚡️

but noooo 'LN is dead' 😱 /s

the only other payment system on *Earth* that would've been…

BTW, start up idea: user account authentication as a service using L402 for everyone! (not only twitter!)

Nessa quinta, 19h, venha aprender a integrar a #LightningNetwork em seu app!

Lorenzo ⚡ vai te ensinar a:
• simular a LN no seu computador com Polar
• ⁠usar a API do LND para: abrir e fechar canais; criar invoices e enviar pagamentos; e gerenciar o node

Cooperatives in the Philippines are embracing the Lightning Network.

Coops in the country have introduced CoopPay a lightning wallet that has full integration with the local banking system.

First touch point for many with Bitcoin tech.

An excellent 'good first issue' opened up on the Lightning Labs⚡️🍠 LND repo. If you'd like to get your hands dirty with lightning channels don't hesitate and check this out github.com/lightningnetwo…

I just hit a million sats, averaging 10 cents per stream on Wavlake

In my latest piece for Forbes Crypto, I cover the great work by BTCPay Server in standardising the LN payment experience for Bitcoin conferences, with case studies from Hodl Hodl’s Baltic HoneyBadger 2023 conf and the recent Bitcoin Atlantis 2024 conf.

If you are an exchange and LN inbound flow exceeds outbound flow, it will get progressively more difficult and expensive to get deposits unless you do something like Loop Out to balance the flow. If outbound flow is greater though, you can profit from it via routing fees to LOOP.

curious about how path finding works in lnd? how balance uncertainty is modeled? how the model incorporates info from payment attempts? how the model has evolved over time, and how the latest version in lnd works?

look no further, as we have the blog post series for you! 🤓

Read this report. The #Bitcoin renaissance is in full swing!

Did you know that pathfinding is an area of lightning node operation which doesn't have specification control?

Each node implementation has flexibility in building optimal paths payments can take through the n/w
