Lifting the clouds on the Lightning Network

Scaling Bitcoin isn’t an easy fix. Lightning could bring a solution to the table without endangering the decentralization of the network.

We'll answer questions such as why do we need a second layer, how does it work under the hood and what are the upcoming challenges. After the presentation, we set up a Lightning wallet and load it with satoshi's in seconds through Lightning gift cards (Flitz.cards)
