⚡ Bitcoin Lightning Network is here!! ⚡ Torguard, ZigZag Exchange

<h3>**The Bitcoin Lightning Network is _here_! Even though it is not production ready, Torguard, an anonymous VPN service, is among the first consumer businesses to start accepting Lightning Network (LN) payments. Others are working on the Testnet.**</h3>

<h3> TORGUARD</h3> [Torguard](https://torguard.net/) confirmed via Twitter that they are launching their Lightning Network payments. Interestingly, the actual Lightning Network is still in development and not supposed to be live yet, but Torguard is going ahead anyway:

(source: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TorGuard/status/950414221120081920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw))</center>

It seems they are very confident that the Lightning Network will hold up, offering reimbursement on lost funds. Perhaps it is a marketing stunt? Still, pretty cool: Lightning Network is starting to arrive!

The supposed price per Lightning transaction is many times smaller than a cent.

<h3>ZIGZAG EXCHANGE</h3>Also interesting is [the launch of ZigZag](https://medium.com/bitlum/zigzag-alpha-release-12b7c56e53b2), a cryptocurrency asset exchange platform based on the Lightning Network has gone live on the Bitcoin Testnet. ZigZag is an exchange which lets users trade their testnet Lightning coins for testnet altcoins. The latter is interesting: altcoins! Everybody altcoin is rushing to build an exchange to trade Bitcoin, but everybody never realized that Bitcoin could simply make an exchange to trade _altcoins_. Payment channels, offering super low transaction fees, are of course ideal for exchanges.

I'm very excited that Lightning Network is finally coming! It's going to make Bitcoin scalable for a lot of different applications! I'm also quite bullish on Raiden Network and Trinity for the same reasons. I believe these latter two projects depend heavily on the research and results of the Lightning Network. If Lightning Network succeeds, so will the other two.

Hey, long time no see. This is epic; I was wondering when people will start using the lighting network, I hope that once it's ready and the market knows about it, the BTC price will skyrocket. :)

I'm still here, Steemin' as hard as I can!! :)
I think Lightning network, as well as Raiden (and Trinity for NEO), is hugely underestimated because people don't understand it. I think it's going to play a crucial role in many situations, ranging from exchanges allowing trading straight out of your wallet at near-zero fees, to 'streaming money' per second, minute, nanosecond, who cares. Opens up a wide range of new possibilities to pay per second. Or for games like CryptoKitties!
I'm holding some RDN tokens because I think they are hugely undervalued. I would get LN tokens if there were any. Most people don't know that in order to transfer $1 million USD worth through the Raiden Network, the Raiden Network Node actually needs to have $1 million worth of RDN tokens in order to facilitate that transfer. This means, if I understand it correctly, a DEX using Raiden will need a LOT of RDN tokens to cover the daily trading volume it has.. 


Not sure how it will play out for Bitcoin as LN has no tokens, but the technology itself will be big I think

Exactly, they are all going to be huge, but it will take a while until people know about them. What's excellent about LN is that it will give the users the possibility to buy cheaper things with BTC. Let's say that you open a smart contract with the shop near your house that accepts BTC and for only one fee you can make as many transactions as you want, it sounds amazing. :)

I haven't heard of RDN yet, but I will look into it, it sounds interesting. When BTC goes up I'm going to buy crypto kitties from all of my money, millionaire, lol. :)))

Interesting, but when/where does LN become mainstream if only certain players can accept it a la carte?  

From your research, which is better between Trinity or Raiden?

We wrote more about Raiden Network, if you wanna get more info...

Thanks! I'll check it out!

I think Raiden Network, Lightning Network and Trinity are all great because they're all essentially the same technology, but on different platforms. Raiden is for Ethereum, Lightning Network for Bitcoin and Trinity for NEO. 
So whichever blockchain suits your fancy, I suppose! :)

Answer makes sense.  Does LN require a vote, or is it simply something exchanges and business proprietors adopt?  

In this light, it seems Raiden having its own coin is cumbersome, compared to Bitcoin implementing it "for free".  

Has Trinity been adopted by anyone, or is it just in project phase?

Pretty sure ETH is going to dominate the market in the coming months anyway. The LN is not saving bitcoin, its simply not a good solution.

I think LND is a good solution, when it gets implemented in the wallets it will be easy, really cheap and instant. I think ETH is only rising now because they NOT get competition of Ripple on Coinbase, so money is flowing back. ETH has many problems and I don't see any fundamentals behind the rise in price. Last week people were talking about Ripple and see what is happening now........... Finally the good tech will receive the value and that is still BTC

Wellllll.... that depends .. what is 'production ready' in an open source world? It's all open source, and nobody really decides on when it's ready  or not ready.. It's being used, on the live Bitcoin testnet, right now. There _may_ still be bugs, but there may also be not. Torguard seems convinced there won't be!
So even though it's not production ready according to the main developers, it still _is_ live. ZigZag isn't yet, though. But from all this info I think the main thing I take away from it is that Lightning is starting to arrive. 
Sorry about the title! I can see how it's a little clickbaitey, you're not entirely wrong on that I must admit it _is_ a little clickbaitey ;)
Still I think it's great news!

Oh, look, I just found Andreas Antonopolous who says what I just said: no one party 'owns' Lightning network, even if there is a company called 'Lightning Network'. It's just like a company named 'Blockchain' doesn't own the blockchain, is what he says!
It's a good watch:
