This is a recurring post inspired by discussions had by @Undisciplined, @elvismercury and others regarding evergreen content on SN. I’ll dig back into the past to try to locate some great posts that might be worth another read. I plan to release a new Golden Oldies every other Tuesday.

It may seem strange that I have chosen two posts this week from @theariard . I did it because he holds an important place in the history and development of the lightning network, and because I think this post really highlights the role that Stacker News can play as important events are unfolding in real time. The discussion is at times heated, but it reveals the way issues in the community are sometimes worked out. Moreover, whatever your opinions of him are, he’s a bright guy who can teach us a lot.

This is an important issue that has still not been resolved. It also caused a few fireworks.

I have chosen two posts from @theariard.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
