Connect The World

Connect The World EP008 | Alex Bosworth | Y’alls | Lightning Labs | USA

"Edward and Stef talk with Alex Bosworth, head of Lightning Liquidity at Lightning Labs.

Lightning Labs develops software that powers the Lightning Network. They bridge the world of open source software and the next-generation of bitcoin financial software.

They talk about the technical and experimental side of the Lightning Network. For example about removing the requirement for Blockchain transactions for channels. And about the future role of Bitcoin's first layer.

He gives a lot of advice for new node owners, talks about his tool Balance of Satoshi’s, his own project Yalls.org, Lightning Terminal, Lightning Loop and about why he’s not spending sats but is more interested in buying liquidity!

If you run a routing node the most valuable asset is to know where the traffic is. Do you know where the traffic is? Start by first watching this episode!" - Jonī Kyasshu

"Edward and Stef talk with Bitcoin philosopher Constant about his vision about the future of the Lightning Network!

In this conversation, they look for similar ecosystems that the Lightning Network has similarities with. It’s interesting to know what it was that we are searching for and what it can do for us in the near future!

This episode is all about Lightning and gives philosophical answers to all kinds of questions. For example: Will everyone eventually own a node or will they use a custodial service? What are the biggest security issues for the Lightning Network and how can they be fixed?

Discover now all the answers by watching this Episode!" - Jonī Kyasshu

Connect The World EP004 | Czino | Rings of Fire | Permaculture | Germany

"Edward and Stef talk with Czino, one of the technical founding fathers of the Rings of Fire concept!

Czino and SoulExporter not only founded Rings of Fire but they also set up a community that really skyrocketed! With this community they onboarded hundreds of members and put an enormous amount of liquidity into the Lightning Network! Later our Satoshi Radio Rings of Fire community took the baton and continued to grow it even more!

When coming up with the idea to think in Rings aside from triangles, the only thing needed was the help of Czino to figure out a way to push a payment through the Ring of nodes. This resulted in a nicely balanced Ring!

They’re also talking about the Meshtadel concept and the similarities of permaculture and Bitcoin.

If self-sovereignty is also ultimately important to you, watch this episode! No time to waste!" - Jonī Kyasshu

Connect The World EP003 | Stijn | Rings of Fire | Ringtools | The Netherlands

"Edward and Stef talk with Stijn, a skilled programmer based in The Netherlands!

In July 2021 we created the biggest Ring of Fire to date, with 65 participating nodes and 65.000.000 sats liquidity. The project is driven by our community. Developers, designers, video editors, and team leaders all joined to make this Ring of Fire a reality.

Stijn had a key role in building and balancing this epic Ring of Fire. He built the first versions of Ringtool which makes it possible to check channel states and fees. Community member Djuri continued to build on Stijn's work and launched Ringtools Web later that year.

Watch and listen to this episode if you want to know everything about the Rings of Fire concept! And don't forget to start yourself in participating in a Ring of Fire!" - Jonī Kyasshu

Connect The World EP002 | Soul Exporter | Ring of Fire | Meshtadel | Belgium

"Edward and Stef talk with SoulExporter, one of the founding fathers of the Rings of Fire concept!

Rings of Fire originated on 18th of Januari 2021 from the desire to reduce single points of failure when everyone is connecting to the biggest nodes. And also to reduce trust when setting up a balanced channels.

Soul also convinces us in the Meshtadel principle opposite to the Citadels when talking about Hyper Bitcoinization.

This is a real layer 2 conversation about one of the largest community efforts in the field of Lightning. It’s all about Connecting the World! Watch it!" - Jonī Kyasshu
