TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Sri Aravinda Krishnan, an applied cryptography post doc at CMU who has co/authored various papers that are laying the groundwork for developing a second layer on Monero, aka payment channels, akin to the lighting network on bitcoin.

Doug and Aravinda discuss what an LN-like network on monero would look like, what developments are required on the Monero side to make payment channels possible, and much more!
