Running a Lightning Node on Mac and iOS apps. Posted: 03 Dec 2018 01:07 AM PST Hey guys, now that we are 1 mill users i thought it was the perfect time for a non techie person like me to start running my own full node and lightning network on my mac. I looked for some choices and i think ill go with bitcoin core wallet and eclair ( im sure there is an easier way to do this like buying the Casa node but at the moment thats too expensive for me) but i want it also to have something for Iphone. Can u guys advice me any lightning wallet for ios (if there's any) up and running like eclair wallet for android for example? So i can send/receive payment thru lightning. Altho as far as im concerned with eclair wallet you can only send payments thru lightning not receive them(yet). Thanks in advanced. submitted by /u/meadowpoe [link] [comments]

Can someone Explain how upgrades to Bitcoin work Posted: 02 Dec 2018 10:57 PM PST I'm just curious how upgrades are added to the bitcoin protocol. The Devs say hey we want to add Segwit to bitcoin but how does this get approved? Is there some mind of vote? What if I don't approve of this "upgrade". Just curious about the whole process of upgrades. submitted by /u/BumblingBaboon [link] [comments]
