afaict there isn't a ton of consensus around this being the soft fork yet https://twitter.com/zndtoshi/status/1405235804549566464
visit https://lightning-roulette.com and try to make a deposit and you will see a link that says "open wallet".
Still haven’t read through this BIP. Trying to read other through other more soon to be soft forks first. Really just want to download a core dev’s brain

DONE! Let me know if you have any issues or want any other features. I want to make this thing bang for bitcoiners.
Auto feature request: bookmark lists. e.g. I want to compile an evergreen list of lightning liquidity resources. More or less like a pinboard on pinterest but for bitcoin related links/discussions.
Creating inbound liquidity for this site was much easier/cheaper than I imagined. It boiled down to opening channels to relatively central nodes and looping out. I was afraid nodes were more selective of peers and looping out was expensive or it’d require buying liquidity from someone. It’s pretty straightforward and cheap now that the mempool is practically empty.
Good question. The idea is to create a small challenge/hurdle/gate for participating. If you can pay a sat (atm ~1/3000 of a dollar) it more or less proves you're a real bitcoiner. You're less likely to post FUD or trader bro price stuff.
If you post good content or comments, you'll likely net gain sats.
In the end it's a bit of a social/economic experiment. If people prefer to not have the 1 sat hurdle, I can remove it. I just suspect the mean would revert to reddit/twitter shitposting.
Should note: "stacked" like social media karma monotonically increases - the aggregate value of your participation on the site. "sats" is your spendable balance which goes up when you get upvotes or fund your account and goes down when you withdrawal or spend 1 sat upvoting, commenting, or posting.
Another way to think about it: it's the number of sats you've earned in aggregate from the birth of your account onward. It's like karma on reddit/hacker news but you can withdrawal it and buy things with it or exchange it for another currency.
