I've been loving the new LND autopilot features. It seems to do a much better job than I ever did at managing our node. Routing is slow but steady.
dang cool! Hey I have a few that we've worked on that may be handy too if you want some more:

Excellent, thanks for posting. We do tons of WordPress work & it always feels like an afterthought to most devs. I love the description about how WP is unattractive but necessary.
This is a great post. I have the same suspicion that funding wallets / node implementations through grants and donations is not likely to be sustainable or lead to bad outcomes / conflicts of interest.
I did some research into this and, although you can point to Linux as an example of worldwide success in this model, it relies on contributions from developers at humongous mega-corps like Google to keep it going.
I have no solution here btw. Just my 2 sats and thanks for the interesting post.
I'm not so sure that there is no basis for scaling improvements to the bitcoin network. even if existing lightning could scale to meet the needs of everyone that wants to use it, whether these are huge fedimints or some other type of e-cash mint or something, improving lightning could be a huge boost for the businesses and people that are running the lightning payment gateways.
Overall I think it makes sense to have some people looking forward and planning for what bitcoin may look like 5 years from now.
I've been researching and discussing this a lot recently. I think the main fear is from recursive covenant op code proposals like OP_CAT.
The argument against non-recursive covenants like CTV & CSFS seems to be more centered on whether this is actually even necessary right now given low network demand.
Hey one interesting thing i learned on the stephan livera podcast. ark developers actually consist of 2 camps, one optimizing for bitcoin payments (currently on bitcoin signet) and one camp optimizing for building application layers (currently on liquid).
I'm raising this because this comment doesn't seem to take into account that there is an Ark implementation very focused on improving bitcoin payment UX.
The episode is here and I think it may be a good listen to understand a little better what is currently going on with the Ark Protocol:

Super interesting article. I know I am reading this through a filter but doesn't this seem like a great reason to NOT do any type of covenants? All these machinations seem like they could use covenants as a perfect weapon to make the big brother dream a reality.
@random_ that LN address isn't working for me. Do you have any others or want to send an on-chain address? Lmk i appreciate your testing.
Done! Thanks again for testing I appreciate it. I'm going to fix this up and then you can try again in a couple of weeks : )
FYI Folks I think this one is closed! I'll see if we close this out thru the SN UI or I just send them btc direct. But anyone reading this consider it closed please!
hey i think you and @Scroogey got this! I wish you all had taken longer : \
trying to lock this thing down has been a really frustrating experience but ah well. I'm learning.
I'm not sure who got this first or better. If you all want to pass me a btc address or LN address I will for sure send you both sats.
Nice work you all. I will fix the ^%$# thing and then you can try again
haha ok! if anyone hacks it i can pay the bounty to any lightning wallet or on-chain wallet, it doesn't have to be thru SN : )
