This is so ridiculous. How does this affect lightening node operators?

What lightning node?
Well appreciated Frank 🤝

What?
Appreciate your video updates. Have helped me, along with the pieces I’ve read.
Putting in that work
I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing.

Too early to tell. For now, I’d pay attention to whether or not the language from the BRCA re: developers and purveyors of non-controlling (noncustodial) not being money transmitters gets included in the CLARITY Act and if the act is enacted into law.
My pleasure!
Thank you, my friend. And yes
My pleasure!
My pleasure! Felt necessary. Many excellent reporters covered the trial.
🎯
Chin up! There’s work to do
I think the bottom line with this though in general is that we need more nodes and more developers building on lightning to make it impossible to persecute regardless of the legal wrangling.
Thank you for keeping us updated on the case.

A reminder to wanna-be dev who wish to create a self-sovereignty freedom tool/app/software.Engage in forum ( without showing your face/identity of course ) telling people you created ' something powerful ' for the people with all the necessary details pertaining to the project then disappear.

The struggle will continue.
