I was about to update my old list about LN resources too, but now seeing this, I don't have to. You saved me a lot of work. Many thanks.

i havent been extremely diligent about keeping it very up2date but i'll add more stuff as I'm rebuilding some of the infrastructure

I am migrating all my guides from substack to https://darth-coin.github.io/ That's why I wanted to update some, including the one I had with LN resources. Maybe is better if I will do a PR to your list :) it's easier I think.

Thank you both for your contributions. As someone said, I'm not going to say who it is???

Lots of important information. Most of it, spread all around the web.
Who's writing the "Lightning Network Node Operator Guide" book?
reply
books are not a good format for a constantly changing field - there is new tools and new features being released relatively frequently so anything that is not a living document is doomed to be stale at the time of printing
reply
Exactly that I was about to respond. I was struggling even with my guides to keep them updated. Things in Bitcoin are changing so fast and so often that is quite hard to keep up with them. I was thinking too to write a book based on my guides, but I renounce the idea, exactly because of that: will became obsolete in matter of months.

@aljaz @DarthCoin I understand the problem and I agree that books have a limited life when applied to constantly evolving technology.
However, for someone who is starting, consuming a list of links to separate sources with different writing styles, without a coherent narrative and line of thought, is a crappy experience and will leave a person with many holes in his knowledge.
For example, when learning something new from scratch, I like to read a good book to lay the ground to further explorations.
But again, that question about who's writing the book, was a small joke.

I think https://www.plebnetwiki.com/ is a good start if you want a cohesive overview of things in one place.
