● Core Lightning #5071 adds a bookkeeper plugin that provides an accounting record of movements of bitcoins by the node running the plugin, including the ability to track the amount spent on fees. The merged PR includes several new RPC commands.

trust me. I know. You guys might have talked about it on an episode I missed, but I am so confused about how fees work, or what a vbyte is, or how bitcoin has changed since 2010. Maybe in a future boost I will talk about how I bought bitcoin early, and then reformatted my computer forgetting about it.

Hello! I've been having a very busy and packed summer, so I haven't been able to boost in as often. Been recently catching up on my podcasts, since I've gotten a bit behind. If you were to do separate shows, I would prefer it to be a slow rollout, with certain topics eventually separating into their own shows. However, I still prefer the one show to rule them all monolith currently!
