Wen gossip v1.5_final_final 💪

[bitcoin++ Insider Edition @btcinsider__]

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.

Update: this is resolved. If anyone else needs some mutinynet BTC I can now spare some actually 😅

[Jonathan HB @jonhbit]

Anybody out there have mutinynet funds I could borrow? Trying to test with higher amounts (1+ BTC). Can return coins in a week or two.
