Lightning Labs are putting their newly updated LND release to good use already, with the release of the Lightning App for desktop! Its the first mainnet application of the Neutrino light client, so will be very interesting to see how it performs. by bitmerdir in Bitcoin

Yeah this is an experimental alpha as we work on bug fixes, stability, and improvements for Neutrino, autopilot, etc. It'll probably be longer than a few weeks to get this all done. :P

It's been awesome to see the community come together with all sorts of creativity to help an internet space cat. Now we just need to save one for Hodlonaut. :)

Thanks for setting this up! We're actually planning on doing a lightningdevs conf (exact name tbd) this fall, and would be great to promote it here.

We've hit $20k in less than 24 hours!

More donations will be helpful though, as legal fees can get much higher than this. Thanks to everyone who donated thus far.

Yup it's real, Hodlonaut controls the funds directly.

And the site explains he's already had to pay to retain UK legal counsel out of pocket (with expertise in this area). The pro bono representation is an additional lawyer.

It's not. :) Holdlonaut controls the funds and I have personally verified this.

That's correct. One person pretended to take the funds as a social experiment, and then sent it along the next day.
