Just finished building a more up-to-date docker container for bitcoind, for a project. lnd is next.
It would be nice to have a layer 2 SDK for building new apps on top of the existing p2p network. It seems both stacks and lightning nodes are essentially doing the same, while sharing the main chain as a central authority.
I think it would make more sense to abstract all that out into a general SDK, where nodes can just broadcast new protocol methods to each other, sharing the same core methods to finalize (HTLC, multisig, proof of burn, etc.)
Anyway that's my current approach. Containerize all the things, then build an app server to abstract it all. It would be a nice way to explore all the JSON-RPC endpoints and various opcodes. Plus SDKs are fun to build.
Anyway, back to work!

Trying to lock down an AMA guest for the week.
Also back to trying to not have to spin up another environment to fix my current environment ... It wouldn't be the end of the world to have to do it - it'd have the benefit of switching to a more feature rich load balancer - but I migrating all of the env config would be a pain.
I should probably also begin trying to reproduce @dk's login issue: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/109

ack... ok, I think I might chalk this up to "user error"... but I guess other people could end up similarly confused. I have a bookmark for the site in mobile safari. I got the email magic-link delivered to my Gmail and it opened the site properly auth'd in the Gmail iOS web browser, not mobile Safari. If that's indeed what had been happening then I guess we wouldn't be surprised at the result that I'm not logged in on mobile Safari. But it's reasonable to consider other people may fall down this same path... is there a well-known solution to this kind of thing?

That explains it!
I'll see if there's something I can do. Gmail iOS team has to know this is a thing.

Looks like I'm going to have to spin up another environment all over a minor version db discrepancy ... so lame.

This will probably delay launching ~jobs or +jobs whichever I end up going with until end of week. gah.
