Episode notes
So Bitcoin’s Lightning Network exists and works today. Can it scale up to a million channels? Rusty Russell (Blockstream Elements Project, working on c-lightning and the Lightning Spec) and Joe Netti (recently interned at Blockstream) join me to talk about their work on the Million Channels Project. We talk about:
- Why the Project was started
- Set up
- Regtest and Gossip
- Routing
- Optimisations needed
- An update on c-lightning
