<h1>Lightning Network Resources</h1>
<p>The Lightning Network is being developed as a means of making bitcoin payments faster, cheaper, and more private. It's still experimental and reckless to use for large amounts of money. Note that this list is open source; please <a href="https://github.com/jlopp/lopp.net/blob/master/lightning.html">suggest changes on Github</a>!
