Wen gossip v1.5_final_final πͺ
Does Lightning Scale? @btcinsider__ reporter @niftynei chats with Jonathan Harvey-Buschel (jharveyb), an @MIT grad and current @ChaincodeLabs researcher, about his work on the Lightning gossip protocol at the @MITBitcoinClub Expo this past Sunday, April 12th.
See what he had to say about networking clusters, minisketch considerations, and how he's repurposing insights from the Erlay paper to make the Lightning Network scale to the next 100k nodes.
