636 sats \ 12 replies \ @BlokchainB 7 Jun 2023 \ on: What sub should Stacker News add next? bitcoin
Might sound silly but maybe split ~bitcoin and ~lightning subs
Also ~sports I see stackers placing bets on sports
Bitcoin IS lightning and lightning IS Bitcoin.
No split.

But when it comes to development the teams are completely different so many different teams are working on lightning implementations. LDK, CLN, LND, Eclair. All have different ways of implementing the protocol with different features. Saying this statement is not being honest
reply
Are there people who care about bitcoin but not about lightning or vice versa?
reply
Just trying to understand the use case. Is it about focus?
Like sometimes, you want to focus on lightning content and vice versa?

It's all about creating gangs, division and never focus on the same path together...

Gangs? That is how the code base is. Plus it’s a public open source project. Humans since the beginning of time are splintered into different groups. But the best ideas that give humans the best chance to live and prosper will win. And the losing groups adapt if they wish or remain completely out the system. Like are we expecting the Amish to adopt bitcoin when they barely use electricity

ALL are lightning. Otherwise are shitcoins...

yeah sports is a good one.
even though it has nothing to do with bitcoin, it’s one of those topics (politics is another), where anyone can develop an opinion on a current event in a matter of minutes and get into fiery debates with people who disagree.

I'd love to see a new post type for prediction markets. It could look like a poll, but rather than paying one sat to answer, you would choose how much to stake on your answer. Then, after the event, the pool would pay out proportionally to the winners. As far as I can tell, this is a huge missing piece from the lightning ecosystem.
