The Lightning Network is a layer 2 payment network built on top of Bitcoin. It is denominated in Bitcoin, and disputes are settled entirely by the Bitcoin network. Like Bitcoin, it is decentralized. Ultimately, the utility, speed and cost of the network will be defined by the sum of how all of the participants behave. In this post, I will explore at least 6 different user types I predict will exist on the Lightning Network and my expectation of how they will behave.
One of the coolest things about bitcoin is that identities/accounts aren't really registered anywhere. In a sense, every possible identity already exists, mathematically. This allows for some interesting approaches to UX that are different in crypto than in other ecosystems.
Here's is a simple example of an API that uses the user's public key as the endpoint. It requires each request to be signed using the user's private key.
Dependencies: NodeJS, bcoin, restler, express
