🎧🔥 A new Episode and an incredible chat with #[1] together with #[2]! We dived deep into the convergence of #Bitcoin, the #LightningNetwork and filmmaking. 🎬⚡️🔥
Max has a campaign running on the #[5] platform. He is all about making Bitcoin more relatable through visual storytelling, turning him into a 'Saifedean of filmmaking' in the Bitcoin space.
We discussed the onboarding process of various Lightning Network wallets and how critical it is to streamline this process for wider adoption. Mogashni from the Bitcoin design community chimed in, reminding us that user experience is key in this rapidly evolving sector. 🎥🌐🚀
Max's journey from being a casual observer to an active participant in the Bitcoin ecosystem underscores the transformative power of this technology. By creating films that tell the stories of the Bitcoin community, Max is pushing the Bitcoin narrative forward in a unique way.
Finally, a big shout out to all our listeners and participants of the Satoshi Radio Ring of Fire! Let's keep those nodes running, sats flowing, and rings burning. ⚡️🔥
Follow Max's adventures @MaxDeMarco on Twitter (add Bitcoin for the correct handle!), YouTube or on his #nostr nip-05: maxdemarco@nostrplebs.com! He is always open for collaboration!

🚀 For #[0] I wrote another #LightningFocus in-depth article full of news about the #LightningNetwork, #nostr, earning sats during your fiat job and about #Ark, a Lightning alternative!
Let's break down the key points:
🔹 #Ark: A true innovative lightning-style layer, Ark accelerates transactions like never before and preserving privacy in the process!
🔹 #LightningRewardsPlatform of MicroStrategy: More than just a catchy name, this platform embodies the fusion of incentives and bitcoin. It could be a game-changer for adoption on a business level!
🔹 #NostrWalletConnect: #[8] makes it possible to connect your Umbrel node to nostr. And enjoy non-custodial one-click payments in any app!
I also dive in to a lot of new Lightning and #nostr features!

In this newest episode of Connect the World, recorded together with #[0], we talked with #[1] discussing the transformative role of #Bitcoin and the #LightningNetwork in global communities. 🌍
Renata shared a powerful story of financial independence from El Salvador, where a local pupusa vendor started accepting Bitcoin. This led to her saving money for the first time, proving that financial inclusion through bitcoin is very much a reality. 💰
Renata stressed the importance of Bitcoin in economies experiencing high inflation, serving as a lifeline to preserve the value of people's earnings. She emphasized the need for non-custodial solutions as a viable alternative to traditional banks, offering financial sovereignty. 🏦
A fascinating question came from Lightning developer #[4] from Japan: How to integrate the Japanese comic subculture with the Lightning Network? Renata's answer? Use cultural elements to create content, promoting and educating about LN, making this tech more accessible and relatable. 🇯🇵
This is not a new concept: There's a project in Africa creating a Bitcoin-centric book for kids, localizing the content. Adopting the local language & culture when introducing new technology could be game-changing in crypto education. 📖
Fedi aims to connect communities with Bitcoin & the Lightning Network, bringing together the most primitive tech (human communities) with advanced tech (#Bitcoin & #LN). Let's support initiatives making bitcoin more accessible globally. 👏🚀
A must-listen episode that highlights the impact of Bitcoin & the Lightning Network around the world, and the potential of localized bitcoin education. A truly insightful session for anyone interested in the intersection of community, culture, and fintech!
And yet again a new episode, together with #[0], featuring @rootzoll, creator of #RaspiBlitz!
He shared fascinating insights on the project's open-source nature and its community-driven approach.
Compared to other implementations like Umbrel, RaspiBlitz is more decentralized and encourages users to develop essential skills.
The future of RaspiBlitz includes fostering community spirit, GitHub contributions, and developer meetings. 🌩🚀💡⚡️

🎙️ A new episode of Connect the World! Together with nostr:npub1ywc6w8qjnm6nlh8ct7qacg9qzl83aappkljkf8yyhnwa7eema4psjgw6nr we recorded an amazing insightful discussion with Pavlenex (@pavlenex), a contributor to various #Bitcoin projects like BTCPay Server, Bitcoin Design, Bitcoin Smiles, and Spiral.
He discussed the importance of the #LightningNetwork for everyday transactions and the benefits of #StratumV2 in addressing mining protocol issues. Pavlenex shared his thoughts on Bitcoin's usability and flexibility challenges, emphasizing the need for software to evolve.

In the latest #LightningFocus for #[1], I wrote about the advantages of splicing. With the proposal of #[2] it saves bandwidth and processing, making the process more efficient.
Faster and smoother tx within the #LightningNetwork improving overall user experience.

Also listen to the Twitter Space, organized by @LNCapital about this subject, among other things.
On preparing 2 interviews with amazing developers within the Lightning space! ⚡️⚡️
👁🗨 [PREMIUM] Lightning Focus! Wat is er de afgelopen maand weer veel gebeurd. Edward zet alles weer op een rij.
Met splicing en hiërarchische kanalen als technische verbeteringen, een lightning node in een statechain wallet en BOLT12 in steeds meer wallets. En natuurlijk meer nostr en DIY's!
https://bitcoinfocus.nl/2023/04/27/196-lightning-2-0-met-hierarchische-kanalen-en-splicing/
⚡️⚡️
🚀 The Lightning Network is gaining momentum! New technologies like hierarchical channels and splicing are set to revolutionize the #LightningNetwork ecosystem, making it more efficient.
I wrote a new article (in Dutch only) for nostr:npub1fyej2m42xz3sp88m8w28hf8a00akxw453z388n46869e9x699apspr3djs about these new proposals, about a new LN node within a statechain wallet, BOLT12 updates and nostr updates!⚡
💡And to get busy experimenting, try my two DIY's. One about combining your own Lightning Address with your own domain, thanks to nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm and one about the amazing nostr hardware signer which were launched/created by nostr:npub1c878wu04lfqcl5avfy3p5x83ndpvedaxv0dg7pxthakq3jqdyzcs2n8avm and nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 and many more amazing devs!
Here's what you need to know 👇
⚡ Hierarchical channels: This technology allows for multiple layers of sub-channels within a Lightning channel, enabling transactions to be carried out at different levels and making the network more scalable.
🧩 Splicing: An advanced technique that allows users to combine transactions, making them more efficient and cheaper. Splicing also enables channels to remain open and add more liquidity without requiring additional transactions. #splicing
🌐 These innovations lead to lower costs, faster transactions, and an improved user experience within the Lightning Network. It becomes easier for users to participate in the Lighting and Bitcoin space!
💡 Hierarchical channels and splicing are still in development, but their potential is immense!
They’re absolutely brilliant! We recorded a live demo in Amsterdam last year: https://youtu.be/9yw-Ad-oTU4
Awesome!! ⚡️

We’d like to announce today the release of Wavman http://wavman.app an open-source music player built for Nostr, brought to you by Wavlake ⚡️🎵 Read more: http://zine.wavlake.com/introducing-wavman 
I use nostore nip-07 extension for safari on an iPhone, but nip-07 login doesn’t seem to trigger that extension with wavman.app. Thought it was also using nip-07?
But thanks for building this! Really love it! 😍
