Bitcoin Rehab: Running Plebnet with American HODL, P & D++ - WBD428

Location: Remote
Date: Wednesday 25th November
Project: Plebnet


The benefits of the Lightning Network are clear for all to see.
By taking transactions off-chain, you can settle almost instantly
for a tiny fee while retaining better privacy than with an
on-chain transaction.


The Lightning Network is paramount to Bitcoin's scaling, and it
is growing at a rapid pace, but while the Lightning Network is
thriving, for new users it can still be a daunting experience.
When running a Lightning node, you need to consider things like
opening and closing channels, channel size, rebalancing and
liquidity.


Luckily, Plebnet is here to help. Starting out as a small group
of people looking to educate and onboard Bitcoiners to Lightning,
they have grown into a community of over 5,000 members and over
1,100 nodes.


In this interview, I talk to American HODL, P, and D++. We
discuss the importance of the Lightning Network, the challenges
of onboarding people and the growth of Plebnet.
