Hey everyone! We just wanted to let you all know that our project "c13n" is now public on Github!

c13n (actually c13n-go) is a lightweight daemon written in Go which utilizes lnd's API to expose a Data/Payments oriented API of its own. These data focused features are developed exclusively over the lightning node's API & strictly in-band (e.g. no sockets or other clearnet traffic, it's all happening over TLVs).

On Lightning Hackday over at Istanbul we demonstrated the concept of Oracles over lightning, which used c13n to communicate the requests/responses. This is one of the many new applications that data over lightning enables (we also developed a demo "social wallet" app named Arc). We are also exploring new ideas! (stay tuned!)

You can reach us on c13n.io or twitter, where we'll be posting updates related to the things we are working on.

Thank you all!! --andreas
