Casa Bitcoin Lightning Node: Buy Your Own Bank

in #bitcoin6 years ago


BTC Sessions News:

Today myself and Zack Voell of “The Coin Pod” chat about the launch of the Casa Lightning Node – a plug and play node that holds an entire copy of the bitcoin blockchain as well as a functioning lightning network node. What does this enable you to do, how many are being made, where can you get one, and why should you care?

Hello Ben,

How much BTC could you get from the Lighting Node? Thanks

Right now the rewards would be pretty minimal, but I suppose it depends! As the network grows it may become a decent reward. It's based on the number of transactions your node actually relays and the size of the fees attached. Right now fees are fractions of a penny. If you run a well-connected node then that could add up, especially as new users start utilizing LN.
