5.0! Love to see it
Nice to see a strong day for Lightning. The 5 BTC channel definitely stands out, but seeing new nodes join and open channels is just as encouraging. It is good to see growth coming from different parts of the network, not only from the biggest operators. Hopefully this momentum continues.
