Welcome to this week’s newsletter. Thanks for all the posts.

I have to mention that @DarthCoin's winning post this week is already the fourth highest ranked post in this territory ever. It can serve as the perfect model of the type of posts that will succeed here. It provided real value and proof of work. I personally benefitted from the informaton, as I am learning about new LN wallets. I'm not saying we're all going to be Darth, but it's something to strive towards.

For now I will keep the Top 5 Posts Of The Week contest. Here are the details:

There will be a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:

Why Bitcoin Only is a massive trove of links, where you can find just about anything you’re looking for. It’s also fun to browse around.

Here you will find a few of the top posts that have been posted to this territory. I am not going to adhere to a rigid zaprank system, since my purpose is to highlight content that has educational value. I will use an informal combination of zaprank and my own evaluation. For instance, some posts, though of high quality, are solely about Stacker News, and might have more appropriately originated as a meta post.
