• Mine pool coin, the next platform coin?
• Invoices, justice, poverty alleviation, government applications have become the blockchain to take the lead in the field?
• Want to put Bitcoin and Ethereum into foreign exchange reserves, Venezuela has finally done a reliable thing?

LBBIG, which controls more than 40% of Lightning's network, told Media The Block that the Lightning Network browser could not know who created the channel and who sent the bitcoin.

When asked what features the Lightning Network should add to attract more users, LBBIG specifically mentioned atomic multi-path and said the technology will play an important role in the use of Bitcoin ATMs.

LBBIG subsequently added:

In order for the lightning network to be widely adopted, it is important to have software that integrates the wallet.

Recent developments in Lightning Networks

In late August, blockchain development company Blockstream released version 0.7.2 of the extensible software c-lightning, a version that supports dynamic plugin management and "signet".

In July of this year, Lightning Network Developer released a new node monitoring tool. The main goal of the tool is to identify potential problems in the network ahead of time. Users can also use the tool to monitor trends in lightning networks, such as the number of lightning network channels, and the cost of payments.
