The timelapse of LNboard's first day is worth checking out. What started as an empty grid quickly transformed into a colorful mix of Bitcoin logos, Lightning bolts, and community art.
Unlike Reddit's r/place, which didn't happen this April Fools', this Bitcoin-powered canvas shows how a community creates when every pixel change costs actual sats. The most interesting part is seeing how spaces change hands throughout the day as users outbid each other using Lightning payments.
Some users coordinated to create larger images spanning multiple blocks, while others focused on claiming strategic spots near the center. The constant back-and-forth for prime real estate makes for an entertaining watch.
What sets this apart from other pixel experiments is how it connects to the broader ecosystem. Each transaction on the board sends a portion of the payment to OpenSats, supporting Bitcoin and Lightning development.
The first 24 hours are just the beginning. As more of the community discovers the board, it will continue to evolve - creating a visual record of Lightning Network transactions through collaborative digital art.
