Henrik Skogstrøm is the CEO of LN Capital, which is soon re-branding to Torq, the name of their Lightning node management software.

In our conversation we discussed the state of Lightning Network ecosystem metrics, the new features being introduced in Torq V1, why Lightning companies are working together on an LSP spec, and much more.
