The Lightening Network connected to Hive will definantely be a good thing. Hive Engine, The Lightening Network and other developments here on Hive will truly payoff in the longrun for the community.
On a slightly unrelated but Hive topic, do you plan to run a node for SPK Proof of Storage?
I would be very interested in your analysis of that opportunity.
Personally, I don't think anyone running a node will get rich, but I think it is good for the ecosystem to support such a project.
I haven't researched it past listening to a video from @eddieespino on setting up a node, but I figure if I can run an ethereum miner, I can run this, it's just a matter of motivation.
Thanks
