⚡️ Are #Lightning microtransactions at risk? Are they economically unsafe or is it not that bad? In my new article for @Bitcoin Focus NL, I delve into this topic and share more exciting news! Ever wondered about combining loyalty programs, omnipresent in our physical and online shopping experience, with bitcoin? Meet Jolz Rewards, which is disrupting traditional markets with their innovative Bitcoin Rewards As A Service (BRAAS)! 🎖 Switching gears to Boltz - they're revolutionizing how we manage our cryptocurrency with their Liquid Swaps. This feature allows users to exchange lightning bitcoin for liquid bitcoin (L-BTC) and rebalance channels efficiently. This is a huge cost-saving compared to traditional swaps on the bitcoin base layer - a big step forward! 🔄 Finally, let's talk about Mash. This payment platform for creators uses the Lightning Network and has adapted their web-based lightning wallet to work perfectly on your smartphone. A fun DIY to support the 'Value for Value' model! 🛠 Find out more about these topics and stay updated with the Lightning Network in the full article here: shorturl.at/iR357 (🇳🇱 only) #LightningNetwork #Bitcoin #Boltz #Mash #JoltzRewards #Value4Value

This is why I am extremely busy these months...and therefore a little less visible here... 😅 Together with my wife we are at the top of the wedding photography in the Netherlands and in the top 100 worldwide. To keep ourselves sharp, but even more so for our amazing bridal couples. For them we have the grateful task of visually reminding them of the story of their love, connection and all the emotions of the wedding day. 🥰📸 In addition to our wedding photography, we also train other photographers and give various masterclasses to take everyone along in our artistic way of working! And we obviously are the most busy in the summer time! I believe there’s a lot of love in nostr, so I love to share our new reel! I think this is the first wedding related post ever here! 🫶🏻

🚀 The Lightning Network is gaining momentum! New technologies like hierarchical channels and splicing are set to revolutionize the #LightningNetwork ecosystem, making it more efficient. I wrote a new article (in Dutch only) for @Bitcoin Focus about these new proposals, about a new LN node within a statechain wallet, BOLT12 updates and nostr updates!⚡ 💡And to get busy experimenting, try my two DIY's. One about combining your own Lightning Address with your own domain, thanks to @Alby and one about the amazing nostr hardware signer which were launched/created by @Ben Arc and @fiatjaf and many more amazing devs! Here's what you need to know 👇 ⚡ Hierarchical channels: This technology allows for multiple layers of sub-channels within a Lightning channel, enabling transactions to be carried out at different levels and making the network more scalable. 🧩 Splicing: An advanced technique that allows users to combine transactions, making them more efficient and cheaper. Splicing also enables channels to remain open and add more liquidity without requiring additional transactions. #splicing 🌐 These innovations lead to lower costs, faster transactions, and an improved user experience within the Lightning Network. It becomes easier for users to participate in the Lighting and Bitcoin space! 💡 Hierarchical channels and splicing are still in development, but their potential is immense! 🔗👉
