So to close out, if this little post has got you more curious about the Lightning network, here are a few things you can do to help out.
Run your own node (it´s fun I promise)
Show friends, families, local business how the Lightning Network works and give them a demonstration. Most people are genuinely impressed by its speed and low transaction cost when they see it with their own eyes.
Contribute to open source code or create services for the growing community of node runners. There is so much still to build.
Reimagine how existing services could be improved when powered by the Lightning Network. Pay-Per-Second Podcasting, Reddit comment tipping with microSats, Fully custodial online poker… So many fun things to launch!
