So Bitcoin’s Lightning Network exists and works today. Can it scale up to a million channels? Rusty Russell (Blockstream Elements Project, working on c-lightning and the Lightning Spec) and Joe Netti (recently interned at Blockstream) join me to talk about their work on the Million Channels Project. We talk about:

  • Why the Project was started
  • Set up 
  • Regtest and Gossip
  • Routing
  • Optimisations needed
  • An update on c-lightning
