Sourced from bitcoindatalabs' weekly Lightning report — BDL's own census of the network, taken for the most recent completed week because their daily graph file is not current. The change shown is against the previous week's report, not against yesterday. Both columns crawl the same gossip network independently, so they differ and shouldn't be compared directly. ↩
Sourced from amboss.space: only nodes and channels Amboss observed as active (recently online or announcing). Updated daily. ↩
Another net negative day 😭
5 BTC Strike close vs 3.7 BTC Binance open.
