Title: Lightning protocol 1.0 released Post by: cellard on December 06, 2017, 06:33:39 PM https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/developers-release-lightning-protocol-10-perform-successful-interoperability-tests/
Quote Blockchain developers ACINQ, Blockstream and Lightning Labs, are announcing the 1.0 release of the Lightning protocol and the world’s first Lightning test payments on the Bitcoin mainnet across all three implementations. These are considered to be important steps toward the standardization of the Lightning Network’s second-level, off-chain payment layer. The three teams, and others in the Bitcoin community, developed the Lightning specification through an open, collaborative process. Looks like it's happening... but now we will have to wait for proper user friendly implementations. I have seen a lot of cool wallet designs. Normal people isn't going to be using any of the complicated command lines, we need a trusted LN wallet that everyday people can use, and also a way for website developers to implemented LN payments easily with some sort of plugin. |
