24 Hours of Lightning: Watch LNboard.com's First Day Unfold

Thanks! Yes, price increases act as a deterrent to people overwriting your space.

When you use this website, 10% of your payment goes to fees. This 10% is split evenly:

- 5% keeps the website running and improving
- 5% is donated to support Lightning and Bitcoin developers

The donation amount is shown at the bottom of the website. This number is exactly the same as what the website keeps for itself.

For example, if you see 10k sats has been donated, that means 10k sats has also been used for the website's maintenance and improvements.

The timelapse of LNboard's first day is worth checking out. What started as an empty grid quickly transformed into a colorful mix of Bitcoin logos, Lightning bolts, and community art.

Unlike Reddit's r/place, which didn't happen this April Fools', this Bitcoin-powered canvas shows how a community creates when every pixel change costs actual sats. The most interesting part is seeing how spaces change hands throughout the day as users outbid each other using Lightning payments.

Some users coordinated to create larger images spanning multiple blocks, while others focused on claiming strategic spots near the center. The constant back-and-forth for prime real estate makes for an entertaining watch.

What sets this apart from other pixel experiments is how it connects to the broader ecosystem. Each transaction on the board sends a portion of the payment to OpenSats, supporting Bitcoin and Lightning development.

The first 24 hours are just the beginning. As more of the community discovers the board, it will continue to evolve - creating a visual record of Lightning Network transactions through collaborative digital art.

Missing r/place? LNboard.com is the Lightning Network's Anarchy Art Gallery

Tried adding a timelapse feature and it crashed. Should be back up shortly with updated capacity.

That's an amazing site as well. It's more of a clone of r/place though.

**Remember when the internet was weird and fun?** Reddit's r/place captures that spirit perfectly - and now there's a Bitcoin Lightning version.

## What is LNboard?

LNboard is a **pixel billboard** where:
- You buy spots with Lightning payments
- You add your image or link
- Someone else can buy your spot later
- The price doubles with each purchase

It's like r/place meets The Million Dollar Homepage, but powered by instant Bitcoin payments.

## Why it matters

This is exactly the kind of experiment Lightning needs. While the technology is impressive, what drives adoption are fun projects that let people **experience Lightning firsthand**.

Half of all fees go directly to OpenSats, supporting Bitcoin and Lightning developers. So this crazy pixel board actually helps fund critical open-source work.

## The bigger picture

The early web thrived on creative experiments that introduced people to new technology through play. Lightning is at that same stage now - it needs more playgrounds where people can jump in without a big commitment.

LNboard doesn't require you to understand the tech - just send a few sats and you're part of a collaborative digital experiment that showcases what Lightning can do.
