I stayed in the mountains for a week. Poor cow hurt its leg. Swiss ambulance to the rescue 💪.

- Half the internet is down Including Shopify, Snapchat, Youtube, Google Drive All are hosted on the Google Cloud Now you see who owns the internet
- Today, I encountered my first online shop that accepts Bitcoin over the #LightningNetwork organically. 10% discount vs a 7% fee. Legit 👌
- Do you know why Lightning adoption is slow? Stand next to a merchant accepting Lightning at a conference and see how every 10th payment fails and every 5th is slow. STILL in 2023. Can you imagine how frustrating this is as a merchant? Can you imagine they don’t bother anymore?
- So many new technologies are on the horizon. It feels like Lightning 2.0 is coming. - PTLC - Upfront fees - Reputation metrics - Bolt12 - Async payments for mobile - Peerswap - Onion messages - Channel factories - Watchtower-free channels? I am exited!
- Today, I am happy to release 🚀⚡️🚀 LnRouter Lookups 🚀⚡️🚀 - Get fresh and deep insights about nodes. - Vet nodes before opening a channel to them. - Save on-chain fees and days waiting on payments to validate a good peer. Check it out 👉 lnrouter.app/lookups
- I wrote an extensive blog post about - Lightning Network payment speed - Average network numbers - The routing score - How to improve your services payment speed
- Watchtowers are a way to keep your funds safe in case your node is down. Here is a short thread on how to add one on LND. 1/n
- Improved LnRouter graph - Find node ability 🕵️ - And mobile zoom buttons 🔎 Also, added the contact page with the telegram group 📱 lnrouter.app/graph
- Lightning scaling is a issue. Giving a billion users a full channel is not possible. Luckily, active research is being done. New: "Scaling Lightning with Simple Convenants". How to give a channel to millions of users with a SINGLE UTXO. I like! Feels similar to Arc? Link 👇
- Replying to @dennisvdalenCow is feeling great, high on tranquilizer
GIF - Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. A 10'000$/month job keeps you comfortable in a hamster wheel. You will not escape your slavery. Only own assets will help you.
- 0conf transactions are a gentlemen’s agreement between users incl. miners. It’s not trustless, it’s not riskless but it solves a major UX issue within Bitcoin. Enabled fullRBF destroys this for the sake of technical correctness. This is a mistake.
