New infrastructure and interoperability of Lightning Network
As we already know, during the last weeks Lighting has been giving something to talk about. Now, this week a group of developers have been working on some implementations based on Lighting from new projects on the current progress of the protocol.

Lightning Network exceeds 72 out of 75 compatibility tests

Lightning Network is a scalability solution that has been worked on and discussed for some years. The white paper of the protocol written by, Thaddeus Dryja and Joseph Poon, creates an off-chain system forming a network of payment channels.

Technology goes a step further because the funds are not entrusted to a third party. Essentially, Lightning Network (LN) can theoretically scale Bitcoin by allowing thousands of transactions per second without compromising the insecure nature of the cryptoactive.

This year and more recently in the last three months, many people have been building and testing LN projects. For example, software developer Christian Decker revealed the test results of three Lightning implementations to see if they could cooperate. According to Decker's findings, 72 of the 75 tests passed.

Interoperability of the LN protocol and purchases with Bitcoin Mainnet

In addition, on December 6, Lightning Labs co-founder Olaoluwa Osuntokun (Laolu) demonstrated multi-hop payments using three different LN protocols. The test was tested on the Bitcoin mainnet and it was the first time that a multiple implementation payment was made in the block chain live. Laolu and his collaborators used LN implementations to buy a coffee and an article from yalls.org.

After experimenting with Lightning Labs, another LN-based startup called Acinq also revealed the progress of their team. On December 8, the company launched a Lightning Network browser that allows users to view all known nodes and LN channels around the world.

Now that developers have discovered that other implementations are interoperable, the Acinq browser can find c-lightning nodes and eclair nodes. Acinq is pleased that your browser explains some interesting features associated with the protocol.

"An interesting feature of Lightning is that the nodes can advertise their own alias and color. In case you find a node with a nickname that seems to come directly from a filtered NSA energy point, it's probably because c-lightning uses a very special code name generator for its alias, "explains Acinq.

Currently, the browser is built on the Bitcoin testnet with only a few participants using LN, but the network has been growing steadily, says Acinq.

The default interface shows the nodes that reveal that your public IP can be geographically located on a map. When selecting a specific node, all the channels linked to the node will be displayed and, at the same time, the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) will be displayed in plain text.

Transactions can not be viewed as a traditional block browser linked to the Bitcoin network. This is because LN transactions are not publicly disclosed and are encrypted. The company expects more developers to participate in strengthening the current Lightning Network projects and the available code bases.
