I created a Simplicity transaction for @Liquid_BTC and got it into the first block it was active (#3 477 600)
Here's how I did it.

Internet friends, I’m hosting another Programming Lightning alpha workshop at the stunning @PresidioBitcoin later this month.
If you’re interested in learning about Lightning and providing feedback to make the final version of this course unfathomably beautiful, please fill out the form below.
This course is a hands-on, in-depth introduction to Lightning. We’ll start with the basics (output scripts, timelocks, mempool policy) and build our way to the famous HTLC.

Say hello to the first 0-fee lightning commitment transaction, made possible by Bitcoin Core 28 (with v3 transactions and pay-to-anchor): mempool.space/testnet4/tx/85…
This wouldn't be possible without all the hard work from @glozow and @theinstagibbs, and it will even get better!

Calling all Bitcoin hackers to break the proposed fixes for Bitcoin protocol bugs (aka the Great Consensus Cleanup softfork). These bugs deserve to be fixed. Slow-to-validate blocks and timewarp attacks make reasoning about incentives much more difficult than it already is.

BOLT12 brings Bitcoin’s censorship resistance to Lightning and improves payment privacy immensely. Human readable LN addresses, no need for servers, reusable invoices, async payments will follow!
It makes Bitcoin cash and as such is needed as a tool for humanity! @moneyball

A few day ago I broadcast the first Stable Channel onto the bitcoin mainnet.
Stable Channels lets users get stable USD or leveraged BTC price exposure using Lightning. Peer-to-peer, 100% bitcoin.
This is finance, streaming. Let's look inside.👇
