Happy Sat-urday Stackers,
It's a beautiful hot & humid day in Austin today. I'm writing this from my backyard. I hope your week was the best ever. We'll keep it short and simple today.
Upcoming AMA: Paul Itoi, co-founder of Stakwork and Sphinx Chat will be doing an AMA Thursday May 5th at 2pm CT. Paul is a seasoned tech entrepreneur and IMO created two of the most innovative companies in the Lightning space. Come ask him anything!

Top Posts
  1. @rukundo__, an engineering fellow at Qala, "a program designed to train the next generation of African Bitcoin and Lightning developers," created a OSS lightning paywall blogging platform called lnd-paywall.
  2. Bitcoin Core 23.0 was released with too many improvements and enhancements to list.
  3. Amboss, arguably the most actively developed and feature rich lightning explorer, released Magma a new channel marketplace for lightning. Notable features include escrow for channel delivery and a reputation system.
  4. BTC Sessions had their AMA! We learn a lot about Ben's views on Bitcoin education, how Ben does what he does so well, and more.
  5. @nullama attempted to list all the interesting lightning projects and websites. The space has grown a lot in the last year - and continues to grow - so no list is going to be complete, but for anyone looking to experiment with Lightning apps it's a good place to start.

good timing. i was just gonna ask here wth is going on with Sphinx. app only available in TestFlight, you can’t buy a node in the app even though it prompts you, the website blog hasnt seen any update in a long time, unclear from the github if it is being worked on, last blog post indicated that they wanted Sphinx to be an “everything” app (pls just give us a good messaging app with a transparent business model 💀)

Maybe I'm easy to impress and I'm 15 years too late to the party but every reminder that the internet connects people from different ends of the world amazes me.
It's a cold and miserable day in Germany. Drinking coffee and watering my vegetable plants on the balcony.
