Connect The World EP044 | Dmitry Laptev aka Augustus Baggins | LN2ME | Switzerland

"Edward and Stef talk to Dmitry Laptev, creator of ln2me.com. His ln2me node routes hundreds of payments per day and provides a service to help Lightning node operators with liquidity issues.

Dmitry was the first to realize that getting inbound liquidity will be a huge problem for nodes. A real necessity for merchants who want to start accepting Lightning!

They talk about how he started reading up on Bitcoin in 2013 and getting into the value proposition of this sound, uncensored money: “But it was only the Lightning Network that really got me going! This technology is so beautiful!”

Do you want to hear about his strategies for running a huge node with over 500 channels? And about his give-away to our viewers and listeners? Then don’t waste any time and tune in for a brand new show!”- Jonī Kyasshu
