I was told LNMarkets needs some extra liquidity for their exchange. Here's an invoice to gift them ~7M sats of inbound. lnbc162150n1p536rqkpp536uvurjracvntl8hnmu2ag6vh3nce39gf4lm69dx6u5mdp93ya0sdr02pskjepqw3hjqstdvfhhxueq2d6x7un9yq5y7unyv4ezqj2y8gsrvepnvymnge3n95ekxcfn956r2dmy95ukgv3h94jxyepe89snsetz8yekz2gcqzzsxqrrs0sp55e3ddvdk8zggp6fhwwtylsdxqsy9pc4ax22xhyx54faxfhf9cnlq9qxpqysgqr24v2w0er5504u6a4pfzczz9fc25zvllgjp223g022lttzuuqkjrsxpje2m8mrprwrefl9g584dyw2kvrae4yp2e4h4nmlw926alq5sq08d3c2 image #lightningnetwork

The total lightning node count trend did a sharp reversal in July. Obviously the tech has always been strong, but what changed in July? image h/t @Amboss #lightning

It's pretty unfortunate that we collectively give so much attention to people that cause controversy instead of to those that move forward consensus.

Intelligence for Rails @Amboss has been updated which improves upon channel closing logic. Selecting which channels to close is a surprisingly challenging problem since it must value the opportunity cost of liquidity deployed in channels. Since liquidity leases are so much higher yielding than typical routing events but far more infrequent, the opportunity cost valuation is very complex. In order to fulfill a lease quickly, Bitcoin needs to be immediately available, which means that Bitcoin must be onchain. As a result of the increased intelligence (and fresh data feeds to Rails) we can cycle Bitcoin more quickly, allowing faster discovery of new routing opportunities on the network. Deployed capacity of our Rails cluster in the near term has sharply dropped following the upgrade, which gives us the opportunity to redeploy in more strategic zones.

Received our first credit card dispute... How is this still the dominant payment system?!

If you've been debanked, how do you get paid? How do you cash a check?

Private channels enable decentralized liquidity providers on Magma to serve mobile nodes, which is a major unlock for lightning's decentralization and yield generation. View quoted note →
