Will Lightning Network and other second layers have interoperability? How will it be designed in terms of protocol standards (BOLT) across different client implementations and APIs? What kinds of Lightning Network apps (LApps) will we see built on top? Which other coins can participate in atomic swaps?

These questions were part of the monthly live Patreon Q&A session on March 31st and the (rescheduled) April session on May 5th. If you want early-access to talks and a chance to participate in the monthly live Q&As with Andreas, become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/aantonop

  1. Hi Andreas, I have been following DeepOnion privacy coin, and they are currently updating their code so they can implement lightning networks, smart contracts and atomic swaps. I would like to know what you think of this proposal and if it will mean good things for DeepOnion in the future? Thanks

  2. Regarding interoperability the Aion network is the furthest along. They have an Ethereum-bridge in beta testing and will then enable any blockchain to connect through them to Ethereum. Long term they will enable all blockchains to interact with each other (transfer of value and logic) with them functioning as the underlying protocoll/infrastructure. Pretty exciting stuff!

  3. Hello Mr. Andreas… Congratulation!!!……you are really doing a great job….. I have a question: If I install a node of LN in my PC, and after that, I sell it….. should I necessarily reinstall the node again? and should I redo all the connections (with other nodes)? or…. is it possible (in some way) "to save" the node ? I'd really love hear from you.

  4. Having a shared protocol ALLOWS for interoperability. Shared protocols don't determine that all implementations will be interoperable in practice. Nor is interoperability necessarily desired among each implementation.
