Remember when the internet was weird and fun? Reddit's r/place captures that spirit perfectly - and now there's a Bitcoin Lightning version.
What is LNboard?What is LNboard?
LNboard is a pixel billboard where:
- You buy spots with Lightning payments
- You add your image or link
- Someone else can buy your spot later
- The price doubles with each purchase
It's like r/place meets The Million Dollar Homepage, but powered by instant Bitcoin payments.
Why it mattersWhy it matters
This is exactly the kind of experiment Lightning needs. While the technology is impressive, what drives adoption are fun projects that let people experience Lightning firsthand.
Half of all fees go directly to OpenSats, supporting Bitcoin and Lightning developers. So this crazy pixel board actually helps fund critical open-source work.
The bigger pictureThe bigger picture
The early web thrived on creative experiments that introduced people to new technology through play. Lightning is at that same stage now - it needs more playgrounds where people can jump in without a big commitment.
LNboard doesn't require you to understand the tech - just send a few sats and you're part of a collaborative digital experiment that showcases what Lightning can do.
https://satoshis.place/ - is the OG for LN graffiti
That's an amazing site as well. It's more of a clone of r/place though.
Yes, this sats doubling on LNBoards really makes it spicy=))
Spicy yes, but totally unsustainable.
Funny if it's all just a rug pull=)
yeah lol @f0e6f4f43b
I had this idea the other day...
Ok, now I need to know how LNURL-Withdraw enabled wallet works=)
So right now you can buy a whole Manhattan for approx 5k sats, interesting
Nice!
So withdrawals are manually processed by you?
Usually within 24 hours ;)
I like the concept! Two things that came to mind after trying it today:
Whats with the colors? They are not the colors from the original pics
I think there is some heavy compression going there;)
Tried adding a timelapse feature and it crashed. Should be back up shortly with updated capacity.
Yes, please, it's super fun, though I feel there are only 3 people posting now=)
So did we crash it already? Interface seems unresponsive
