The Future of The Lightning Network! | Rusty Russell

Connect The World EP18 | Rusty Russell | Lightning Developer | Blockstream | Australia

"Edward  and Stef talk with Rusty, a Linux and Bitcoin developer and a Lightning  OG from Blockstream! We owe a lot to this lead Lightning protocol  developer!
Rusty started hacking C-lightning in August 2015 and wrote “Reaching  The Ground with Lightning” in November that same year! He described how  to do Lightning using only the coming Segwit proposal. With Blockstream  they were the first Lightning implementation!
They talk about Blockstream Aqua, Jade, Blockstream Green and  Blockstream AMP. And Rusty also covers all the advantages of Lightning  Offers / BOLT12. Implementing BLOT12 will take some time but we already  can philosophize what this will do for the adoption of Lightning and for  all those merchants out there!
Are you crazy about Lightning like Rusty and us? And do you like to  follow all Lightning developments as closely as possible from a lead  developer? Then don’t wait any longer and treat yourself to this  episode!" - Jonī Kyasshu
