#LegendsOfLightning is an accelerator style event open to anyone globally to help foster innovation, and collaboration in bitcoin and lightning. We partnered with Fulgur Ventures to provide some crazy prizes. The event is running from Oct 12 until Dec 7 which is much longer than our previous format with #ShockTheWeb which was only a week.
Hopefully this can activate folks all over the world to participate and get mentored by some of the big hitters in the industry (and ye... there's a 3 BTC prize pool).
We need to grow the talent pool of developers, designers, researchers, and copywriters in the industry. Why? For bitcoin's global takeover! We think this platform and event format is something that can inspire people towards that.
Topics to ask us anything but here's some examples.
- Legends Of Lightning
- Hackathons
- Building in public
- Learning in public
- Onboarding new talent into bitcoin
- Innovative use cases of bitcoin and lightning network
- Developing lightning applications with APIs (WebLN/WebBTC, lnurl-auth)

Got my offline cash today.
The notes are heavy! Pretty and dominated in 1, 2, 5, and 10 miliBitcoin (1 millibitcoin = 100,000 sats).
Can’t load sats yet because the iOS app isn’t approved.
Overall I think this is a cool concept simple form factor people can understand and you can pass on value in areas with no internet or use for tipping! Can’t see this being used to buy goods and services yet due to lack of change but I’m excited to try and tip Someone with this!
