Lightning Resources

At the beginning of 2019 we decided to start a shared Google calendar of events that seemed to be most relevant to what we are doing. Many events were added since then by recommendation from people we met at other events.

Now this calendar got a nicer view, but it still works as a Google calendar too. Send us a note if you'd like to get a shareable link or if you'd like to recommend an event. Many thanks to everyone who has already contributed to the calendar.

Since we started following the Lightning Network development back in 2017 it was obvious that statistics and metrics are important to help understand not only the maturity and adoption rate but also what technical and business challenges will need to be solved and how to think about priorities. There are a few professional statistic resources available, however we thought that brining at least some statistics to attention helps keep in mind that we are in a very dynamic fast growing space. We will try to add some more data to this view when we can.

Here is a glimpse of what came on our radar recently. Feel free to send us your news and we may also include it in the newsletter. Use the form at the bottom of the page to subscribe.
