Брзина светлости: Кракен, још једна гигантска размена интегрише Лигхтнинг мрежу
This is huge! Kraken now supports Lightning Network deposits and withdrawals. The suddenly popular second Layer protocol keeps growing and gaining importance. “Finally, traders have an instant and inexpensive way to move bitcoin on and off the platform,” Kraken said in their official announcement. The Lightning Network is much more than that, though.
What will happen once Kraken’s extensive clientele tries out Lightning transactions? Will the phenomenal experience change the way they see bitcoin? The second layer solution can perform millions of operations per second and all transactions cost pennies and offer final settlement. In using it, there are also privacy gains. The huge innovation, though, is the cash-like experience.
The Kraken integration comes with a Lightning node of their own. To implement it, the company used LND by Lightning Labs. The reason is that “they have the largest user base and we have a lot of people on the network that have lots of experience with LND. So it has proven to be easy to use and very reliable as well.” That’s according to Kraken’s bitcoin product manager, Pierre Rochard, who also said to Bitcoin Часопис:
“Adoption is going to come from people who have fiat in their bank account, and they need to get it into Bitcoin. Kraken is providing an excellent venue for them to do that, and then they can top up their mobile Lightning wallet and use it as a medium of exchange. That’s clearly the next step in terms of Bitcoin’s evolution.”
Дизајниран имајући на уму ово и искуство попут готовине, Кракен ограничава Лигхтнинг депозите и повлачења на 0.1 БТЦ.

„У 2021. години, посвећени смо ангажовању тима који ће се посебно фокусирати на Лигхтнинг Нетворк, као део наших сталних напора да пружимо најбоље могуће искуство за трговце и инвеститоре.
We expect to allow clients to withdraw and deposit Bitcoin on Lightning in the first half of 2021, which will allow clients to move their Bitcoin instantly and with the lowest fees.”
It took a while, but it’s finally here. Market-wise, will this move the needle in favor of bitcoin? Will the world even notice? According to this list, Kraken became the 23rd exchange to support the Lightning Network. Among the giant ones already on board are Bitfinex, OKEx, OKcoin, BitMex, and Bitstamp. Among the up-and-coming ones, BullBitcoin, Buda, CoinCorner, Kollider, and Boltz.
This also means, that you're able to instantly move the lightning payment you received to @krakenfx to exchange it for fiat, basically reducing the currency exchange risk to zero.This completely changes the dynamic for fiat brick and mortar stores.https://t.co/bpNzKC7ZDL

И, пошто смо на листама, Кракен је у њиховој најави дао препоруке за Лигхтнинг новчаник:
“For example, BTCPay Server enables Lightning payments for merchants, greatly improving the bitcoin checkout flow. For consumers, Breez, Phoenix and Muun bring Lightning to mobile with a modern user experience.”
Што се тиче важности овог потеза за тржишта и пословање, псеудонимни оператер Лигхтнинг чвора који користи „рутирање без накнаде“ ставља све у перспективу. „Ово такође значи да сте у могућности да моментално преместите муњевиту уплату коју сте примили у Кракен да бисте је заменили за фиат, у суштини смањујући ризик промене валуте на нулу. Ово потпуно мења динамику за фиат продавнице од цигле и малтера.”
Напад на ЕСГ ФУДThe increase in Lightning Network adoption also brings a great opportunity with it. The community could clean up the disgusting ESG-based narrative enemies of bitcoin have been planting in mainstream media. Regarding this, in the already quoted interview Kraken’s Pierre Rochard said:
„Са Лигхтнингом можете да пошаљете плаћање ван ланца које је много енергетски ефикасније, не само зато што не додајете накнаде за рударе, а самим тим и износ потрошње електричне енергије од стране рудара, већ и зато што то плаћање само треба да буде чувају и деле две стране на том каналу.”
Do Greenpeace and Ripple not know that most bitcoin transactions are going to be off-chain in a few years? Do they not know that the Lightning Network alone will take bitcoin out of the conversation its enemies have been carefully manufacturing? Kraken certainly knows. And took action.
Speaking about Kraken, its CEO Jess Powell has been present on the news lately. He recommended buying bitcoin below $40K. During the Canadian crisis, he hinted that bitcoin should take their funds out of centralized exchanges. And he refused to voluntarily ban Russian users, providing a convincing rationale to justify Kraken’s actions.
А сада је његова компанија интегрисала Лигхтнинг Нетворк.
