He works on lightning too.
So should you
My nostr coins are going to the moon now
Apparently nostr > lightning > bitcoind > linux
whoever that is
He's one of the top Bitcoin lightning devs that also worked on Bitcoin core and Linux before that. Total legend of a dev.
what do bitcoin lightning devs do? genuine question.
Actually quite a lot. Starting in 2015 they worked on BOLTS, which was a uniform set of rules that different companies had to follow to operate on the Lightning protocol. Rusty is in charge of those to this day. He later joined Blockstream and developed much of their version of Lightning, but I think he's got his own dev lab now. Various features in lightning wallets you may have used were his ideas.
In the 90's he did a ton of work on the Linux Kernel, so most operating systems around the world have his ideas implemented in them right now too.
Aw snap! 🎊
I was thinking that I legitimized all that mess joining here, me, Satoshi Nakamoto the real😎
