TLS113: Super Testnet on Inventing New Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr Products

The Kevin Rooke Show

Super Testnet is an independent Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr developer, and the chairman of FOSS at Pleb Lab

In our conversation, we discussed how Super is able to innovate at such a high pace, and we covered many of the projects he has been working on, including HODL contracts, his Nostr-powered webstore and swap service, his mobile coinjoin wallet, and his spacechain launcher.

This show is a Lightning podcast. That means instead of asking for likes or shares, I ask for sats.

The best way to show your support is to download Fountain from the App Store, load your wallet with some sats, and send them over the Lightning Network to [e-mail].
