Hangout & Hack - v0003

It's time for Hangout & Hack! This time we'll be spending time on the Lightning network as well as review secure messaging protocols. Nerdy stuff! Interested in any of the topics below? We are excited to hear your opinions on them!

Lightning Network

• Have capital you want to allocate to the Lightning Network? Need (incoming) Liquidity? Open a channel and meet your channel partner!
• Lightning Channel Liquidity strategies and best practices.
• Deploying and configuration a Lightning Watchtower.
• Channel activity analysis.

Messaging Solutions

There's also been a desire to review some of the popular and up-and-coming messaging systems that exist including:

• Matrix Protocol
• Signal
• cwtch (pronounced 'butch' but with a 'k'), provides signed binaries/apks via website. Not on any app store.
• Nostr
• keet
• Sphinx
• Session

We might scrutinize each of the above protocols along the following dimensions:

• Scalability
• Censorship-resistance
• Trust Model
• Resiliency
• Dependencies
