I have managed highly successful multi million dollar enterprise #bitcoin #lightningnetwork nodes for more than half a decade and I have learned a lot. Now I am putting together an interactive learning environment for aspiring professional lightning node managers.
There will be a simulated environment on a regular domain as well as an open source download for local automatic regtest node deployment in addition to the GUI and terminal simulation.
We need more professional node managers and the best way to get them is to have a zero risk learning environment to build confidence.
Still a lot to build but I will be dropping teasers here and there until I make it all public. Lightning is just too fun. Can't stop won't stop.
I am adding some more fundamental knowledge to what I am now calling the Lightning Training Ground; sort of a part 00 for those with almost no basic Lightning Knowledge before they continue through the node management journey. Trying to make it as interactive as possible with interesting factoids sprinkled in.
Bitcoin IOUs don't have a supply cap
A Bitcoin treasury company (@Datavault_ai $DVLT) just crashed because they informed investors that they haven't been able to withdraw BTC from the exchange (@BiconomyCom) that is holding all their treasury funds after 4 months of transfer requests.
The next phase of self driving cars are when the cars in real time connect to and communicate with each other to further make traffic more efficient. It's going to be a wild 2030s.
How I feel cloning an open source repo and making changes to the project just for my own personal use.
Just whipped up an apk using the wavelength SDK by @lightning labs and sent sats to a fresh mainnet wallet. smooth as silk. #bitcoin #lightningnetwork
Wavelength is now live on mainnet! 🌊
Humans and agents can now send and receive bitcoin payments with the Wavelength SDK.
A few API calls, self-custodial from the first command, with no node or liquidity to manage.

It's exciting to be a part of the first known gorilla open-source project, @EntropyLabX . Tackled a rather complex issue recently, even with an AI assistant, but the PR is almost at the finish line.
github.com/OogaBoogaX/entrop…
Shout out, @MrHodl @w_s_bitcoin @without_rulers -- Having a great time.
What is Gorilla open source, you ask?
Permissionless Contribution: Anyone can build software regardless of technical background. The entry fee is simply an idea and a willingness to work with AI agents.
Public AI Code Review: Code generated by human contributors is reviewed live by both human engineers and frontier AI agents in public forums, such as X (formerly Twitter) Spaces.
Agent-to-Agent Open Communication: Beyond human-to-AI interaction, EntropyLab utilizes tools like Buzz, where multiple AI agents converse, plan, and audit code openly in front of the community.
Unequivocally the best event in #bitcoin has been @tabconf over nearly a decade. Thank you @miketwenty1 and everyone else in ATL for a very memorable and inspiring #8. And @ALewin and @StephenDeLorme for the extremely engaging and educational bitdevs event. The building continues
Some say it's a logical fallacy but in this case it's true. If you aren't going to @tabconf you are not a Scotsman.
I get it but I actually enjoy driving.
I genuinely feel bad for all the people still starting their mornings manually driving, burning gas, sitting in traffic, and stressing over every stop-and-go.
Bc this is how I start mine now.
Fresh coffee in a Tesla cup in my hand.
Starship, something inspiring on the dash.
Tesla FSD handling the entire drive, while I stay attentive.
And my Cybertruck connected the entire time... a Starlink Mini that's integrated to my Cyberbeast is pulling 169 Mbps down, 12 Mbps up, with 36 ms latency while driving.
Bro... think about it for a sec... my car is driving autonomously on FSD, I’m drinking coffee and pouring more with both hands, I’m learning about the most important vehicle ever created by humans in the background, Starlink is giving me fast internet from space on the move, and I’m posting this reality on 𝕏 from the same seat for the world to see.
Just a few years ago this would’ve sounded like some made-up future.
Now it’s just my morning.
