I used YouTube to find out what changes are planned for the bitcoin network in 2024.
I’ve done that a few years ago and learned about interesting stuff like Lightning network.
Now, petty much all the search results are about the price or FOMO and/or are clickbait.
So, let me ask it here? What’s the plan for 2024 regarding the technology?
I’ve had this article that I’ve been meaning to read open in a tab since June:
Introducing Ark: An Alternative Bitcoin Scaling Solution Focused On Preserving Privacy
The lightning network implementations are implementing channel splicing, which would allow for channel capacity changes without a full close-reopen cycle.
Bitcoin is decentralized, there isn’t a single published roadmap like with other coins like Ethereum. Lightning continues to get development, nostr continues to get development, the tech stack continues to grow and grow. Watch the videos from the latest bitcoin conference and read Bitcoin magazine, they are a great starting point for lots of interesting projects in the space.
