Lightning Hackday Istanbul Retrospective

In this week's episode we have two very special guests who participated at the Lightning Hackdays this past weekend. The Lightning Hackdays are an unconference focused on the Lightning Network organized by Fulmo from Berlin and this time they took place at the Cobac Co-Working space in Istanbul right next to the Golden Horn. There were around 150 participants from many different countries and great projects that led sessions. Participants couldn't really join all the sessions because there were quite a few running in parallel, so it's great to hear the experiences of Calle and Freerk. Some projects discussed: GTP-LN Raspiblitz Bolt 12 Pubinno Lightning Beertap Keynotes: Carla-Kirk Cohen (Lightning Labs) - State of the Lightning Network Nicolas Burtey (Galoy) - USD Over Lightning Rene Pickhardt - Optimally reliable and cheap payment flows on the Lightning Network You can watch the recorded Livestream of Friday's keynotes on Youtube Bilal Göregen performance Find tweets releated to the Hackdays with #LightningHackdayIST If you are interested in playing around with the Galoy API and USD over Lightning, you're welcome to join the Galoy Slack #hackathon !
