I just found an earlier video from 2018 at the Fulmo #LightningHackDay NYC, where I present my idea and progress trying to solve the static QR code problem that existed when LN was first introduced, and has since been very thoughtfully addressed, and then some, by fiatjaf with his LNURL project. This hackday was where I met Ben Arc, of later lnbits fame, among many other impactful projects he's produced, and we helped each other with our respective ideas.

So this hackday truly kicked off the whole process. I hope some of this motivates people to get involved. I knew very little about lightning, beyond the basic concepts, when I attended the event. There were many amazing and enthusiastic people there. It was well worth my time and hopefully my little projects helped get other people to see where this could all lead and maybe to get motivated to contribute as well.
