- kylebenzle 2y agoIt is a for profit company, software is closed source.
- firtoz 2y agoThen Can it go bankrupt? Yes Can it be corrupted? Yes Can it go down? Yes
- clarkmoody 2y agoThis is completely false.
- RustyRussell 2y agoThis I'd wrong. There are at least 4 independent, FOSS implementations and an open specification and spec process.
- thinkmassive 2y agoYes, the spec is open and contributed to by the main implementations, all open source. https://github.com/lightning/bolts https://github.com/lightning/bolts https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning
