Lightning Network mature enough for mass adoption? | Alex Bosworth

Connect The World EP008 | Alex Bosworth | Y’alls | Lightning Labs | USA

"Edward and Stef talk with Alex Bosworth, head of Lightning Liquidity at Lightning Labs.

Lightning Labs develops software that powers the Lightning Network. They bridge the world of open source software and the next-generation of bitcoin financial software.

They talk about the technical and experimental side of the Lightning Network. For example about removing the requirement for Blockchain transactions for channels. And about the future role of Bitcoin's first layer.

He gives a lot of advice for new node owners, talks about his tool Balance of Satoshi’s, his own project Yalls.org, Lightning Terminal, Lightning Loop and about why he’s not spending sats but is more interested in buying liquidity!

If you run a routing node the most valuable asset is to know where the traffic is. Do you know where the traffic is? Start by first watching this episode!" - Jonī Kyasshu
