Happy #SatStackerSunday! This week we routed a respectable 94.6m sats across 2,454 transactions! This despite several hours of downtime while our ISP worked on our connection, and 48 hours of being tor only because our "static" IP changed! We lost 1 channel and gained 0 this week. But we have several inbound pending now, and are going redeploy from previous closures next week! Remember, you can always open up a channel to #RecklessApotheosis and we'll refund the first 300 sats of your opening fees and give you 0/0 routing fees for 30 days! Stay reckless and happy routing!

After school Bitcoin Workshop Class #6 now complete, everyone bought stickers using Lightning and paid invoices to each other! OrangePilling GenZ! Using the amazing Bitcoin Diploma from MiPrimer and the Tuttle Twins Bitcoin Episode today, using Zeus Wallet against our own LNDHub instance!

A few months ago I gave a presentation at the VP level regarding the overall security landscape of the Lightning Network today. The audience already understood Bitcoin and mining, but was not well versed in Lightning. I adapted my presentation into a document and have been refining it as I have time. So I figured this was a good time to release it and solicit feedback, it's also my first Stacker News article! So if you're a beginning noderunner in particular, please take a look at my paper and let me know what you think!

Hope you all enjoyed Pizza Day! Don't forget to Orange Pill your favorite restaurants and to keep stacking sats!

Happy #SatStackerSunday! What a mempool eh folks? I think Plebnet Noderunnings reached a new ATH for messages sent in a single day! As both heavily involved in the Bitcoin Mining arena as well as Lightning, RecklessApotheosis is crazy excited as well as mildly concerned over the number of transactions being mined every block! We had a slow routing week, only growing by a single channel, but at least we didn't lose any for the second week running! Which, given the painful FC fees people are reporting, we are hugely blessed to have escaped so far! Routing slowed way down, likely due to de-risking by other routing nodes and a reduction in global rebalances, also the reduction in newly opened channels resulted in a reduction of local balancing of new channels. We only routed 65m sats over 515 transactions, but hey, no closures! So I'm counting this as a win! Also we're planning a Plebnet meetup on Thursday the 18th in Miami, more details to follow hopefully! Remember, you can always open up a channel to #RecklessApotheosis (should you dare) and we'll refund the first 300 sats of your opening fees and give you 0/0 routing fees for 30 days! Stay reckless and happy routing!
