Read_701 - Lightning for Everyone in Every App [Roy Sheinfeld]

Feb 15 2023 • 1hr 7m

Show Notes

"This is the end of Lightning as a niche technology and the beginning of Lightning as a (ubiquitous) Service. In a few years, Lightning functionality will be so universal that nobody will even notice it any more, and it will be so useful that nobody will want to live without it. Like phones. Like shoes. Like concrete. Like the alphabet." - Roy Sheinfeld

Today we dive into an incredible announcement that will change the way we think of and interact with lightning. Destroying the barriers to entry and use, removing delays for onboarding and receiving your first payments, eliminating the problems of hosting and always being online, and making the process of plugging into lightning a matter of a few hours, not days or weeks.

This blows my mind that lighting will be ubiquitous in our daily life. I will be anxiously awaiting those that can build to build QUICKLY! And a great basics topic would be self custody and more importantly the ins and outs of signing devices or wallets. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!

just like the other guy said, Noster (or archaic spelling Nostr) means Our in latin. There are ancient coins with DEVS PROTECTOR NOSTR on them (God our protector). They wrote the U as a V (Deus). Love the double meaning.
