Using the lightning network without internet connection? Seems like a killer idea if pulled off!

LNMesh is taking on this feat, planning to use Bluetooth and wifi to create local mesh networks that allows users to transact without the need for internet, mostly intended for using #Bitcoin during natural disasters.

So far the concept has worked in practice, but still needs to be perfected for UX purposes.

Awesome! Another step in the right direction.

Hey Seth,

thank you for this post.

learning new things everyday here.

This sounds indeed like a killer app.

Do you know which Wallet implements this?

And do you know/ could you post the timeline for the development?

Give you a follow for this!

As far as I know it’s only proof of concept by Florida International University.

Here’s their GitHub:
