BTC++ is bringing together hundreds of Lightning and Layer 2 builders in Austin over the next few days for their developer-focused conference series, so we’ve set up a dedicated thread for sharing ideas, updates, and announcements from the event in real-time.
The event will be live-streamed using Vida, and the full schedule can be found here.
Each of the stream links are listed below:
Whether you’re at the event, watching the stream online, or curious to learn more about the ideas being discussed, this thread is for anyone to share their favorite moments or ask any questions they have.
Can't run my own node at the moment. Phoenix wallet charges 3k sats minimum for swap to LN which is a bit expensive. Any advice?
take what you have right now and set it up on a channel. Use the 3k I just sent you for the swap fee
Wow thank you, I appreciate it! Any advice for swaps in the future? What's your method?
I pay most of what I can through the LN and keep a decent balance there, but not everyone supports it, and I still spend btc for bigger transactions often.
I am traveling to Madeira to see for myself the bitcoin community and the Free Madeira movement. Have you heard of how this economy is going and who I can DM to meet while I am there?
Hit up @andreloja on Twitter. I'm not sure if he's active here on SN.
Also, enjoy the poncha.
Wow... I was just at consensus and had NO IDEA this was happening.... I would have much rather gone to this than listen to the web3 talk at consensus! I really was only looking forward to meeting bitcoiners there, which were few admittedly.
Happy to see all the btc initiatives , and glad stacker.news is there to let us know about them.
Agh, would love to have attended, but we're doing the potty training speedrun this weekend with my 2yo.
So many cool talks. Look forward to checking out the streams. Hope you all have a great conf ✌️
I should of went
Come to the next one! This is a high signal event.
getting a deep-dive lesson on how mutiny’s lightning node in the browser works
All actions aimed at promoting the massive adoption of Bitcoin are very important. There are many walls to break down and many enemies to defeat. In that mission, the Bitcoin Lightning (LN) is a powerful instrument.
Burak is now presenting a new privacy preserving layer two protocol, excited to hear what he’s been working on
Will be the recordings of previous days uploaded somewhere?
they will be uploaded to youtube, but haven’t been added yet. once the vida livestreams end, those talks can be replayed at the same link as well.
@bitcoinplebdev is teaching people how to build their first Lightning app now
looks like a solid lineup of speakers
solid first day of workshops and networking, tomorrow is loaded with talks from layer two builders… going to be a fun day!
really impressed with the hands on nature of the event. a bunch of the speakers are walking through their projects in a way that allows audience members to follow along and actually build things in real time
Olá, vão postar em algum lugar.
the final day is kicking off shortly, it’s a hackathon for building layer two projects.
let’s see if i can figure out how to build something cool today!
there are too many good speakers this morning, can’t decide between Justin Moon’s talk on Fedimint, Gloria Zhao’s talk on the mempool as a battleground, Paul Sztorc’s talk on BIP300, or Julien’s talk on Nix for Bitcoiners.
they’re all at the exact same time, thankful for the power of video recordings.
first up is a socratic seminar on fee management on layer two.
this is going to be a major learning experience for me, lots of smart people talking about technical topics that go way over my head.
