Sounds really cool, interesting to see if it really can work as simply as it suggests. Sounds a bit like using a fedimint but with less trust??
Of course it's the Great Supertestnet Please go and support him here👇

For context @Super Testnet has been planning to build his own #Lightning protocol, different from LND, lightning-core, éclair, and Electrum This (imo) is another step in that direction View quoted note →

This is why we need to let innovation happen for a while before we change Bitcoin. Great job @Super Testnet

“This is incredible! Super Testnet just invented a new type of payment channel with offline receive. It makes use of connector outputs which is a concept introduced by Ark. There is no service provider however. Channels are peer-to-peer. With 1% the complexity of Lightning.” - @calle
