    Holy shit lightning is 10x better than I thought. And, is there interest in a video guide of how to setup a mainnet lightning node?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 07:12 PM PST

    FINALLY got lightning to work on mainnet and bought some stickers. Blockstream got my order before I could alt-tab, it's insane how fast and amazing this technology is. I can't wait for the future.

    Also, would there be any interest on a video guide? If you're like me, you see a wall of text and want to die.

    LN test network is flushing out nicely. almost 2000 nodes and 5000 channels. I think its safe to say that hub and spoke fears are going to end up being overblown.

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 10:35 PM PST

    Not sure how I feel about this being relevant again

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 05:14 PM PST

    There may actually be negative fees to use Lightning sometimes, if your transaction helps others avoid hitting the blockchain to rebalance channels. ;)

    NIST Has Corrected BCash Goof-Up

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 08:40 AM PST

    Just in case people haven't heard... The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published a 'draft' document on cryptocurrency that included some inaccuracies on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. Many including myself contacted the NIST to point out the errors and request they be corrected.

    As of yesterday I can confirm that NIST has indeed listened to the crypto community and you can find the updated language below . Keep in mind this is still a 'draft' document and open for public comment so feel free to help them polish things up even more :)


    From: dylan.yaga@nist.gov

    Thank you for your comments. You, along with many others, expressed concern on section 8.1.2. To help foster a full transparency approach on the editing of this section, I am sending the revised section to you for further comment.

    8.1.2 Bitcoin Cash (BCH or BCC1) In 2017, Bitcoin users adopted an improvement proposal for Segregated Witness (known as SegWit, where transactions are split into two segments: transactional data, and signature data) through a soft fork. SegWit made it possible to store transactional data in a more efficient form. However, a group of users had different opinions on how Bitcoin should evolve – and developed a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain titled Bitcoin Cash. Rather than implementing the SegWit changes, the developers of Bitcoin Cash decided to increase the maximum blocksize (additionally the developers made changes to other aspects of the system, such as the difficulty adjustment algorithm). When the hard fork occurred, people had access to the same amount of coins on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

    1The ticker used for Bitcoin Cash differs depending on the exchange; some use BCH, some BCC
