1/ In case you missed the announcement from @benthecarman, we are releasing a production-grade Lightning node for servers. Everything that powers the likes of @CashApp, @Square, @moneydevkit, @lightspark, @lexeapp, and @getalby is packaged as a daemon anyone can run.

You’ll probably start to see more people using LDK for non-custodial mobile wallets because you can pick and choose what you want to customize. (44:31) youtu.be/hkqJkTR8OOI?t=2671

Cash App has more than one node, we have two nodes. With LDK we are able to expand that to 3,4,5, or as many nodes as we want, and have no downtime when deploying new versions or updates. (40:28) youtu.be/hkqJkTR8OOI?t=2428

Who here likes @rustlang as much as @jkczyz and @arikaleph? Rust isn’t your thing? We don’t take it personally. We have language bindings, so you can also use Java/Kotlin, Swift, TypeScript/JavaScript (Beta), C++ (Alpha). What languages do you want? Or, are you a Rustacean? 🦀

I was able to add peer management apis and ui for Sensei's 0-conf channel functionality. Default is to trust no one and never accept 0-conf unless a peer's pubkey is explicitly whitelisted. Check it out:
