Lightning Network Chiang Mai are a group of cryptocurrency developers and enthusiasts focused on payment channel technology for Bitcoin.
\nOur aim is to bring about real-world use of lightning by making it easier and cheaper to join the network.
\nWe dream of a world where anyone can transact freely, without excessive fees, censorship, fear of confiscation or loss of privacy.
\nWe hold regular meetings around Chiang Mai to present and discuss our current projects.
\nAll contributors are welcome to join and all forms of contribution are highly valued, they do not have to be of a technical nature.
\nFeel free to get in touch via Twitter direct message, or otherwise.
\nThe Lightning Network allows payments to be made across the Internet within the blink of an eye.
\nPayments can be smaller than fractions of a cent thus allowing for fairer billing methods, based on actual usage.
\nOnion-style routing significantly increases financial privacy of transacting parties and since channel peers pay each other directly using Bitcoin transactions, no third party must be trusted.
\nFor a proof of concept demo, we recommend the following lightning clients:
\nWallets where you have full control over your funds
\nWallets where you don't have full control of your funds (works like a bank, but not regulated)
\nOnce you have one of these wallets installed, you may add some funds similar to how you would fund a normal wallet.
\nOnce the lightning wallets are funded, and there are funds available, you may try paying.
\nOtherwise feel free to try the donation button, to experience microtipping (you can send fractions of a cent!)
