===Contribute to the book Mastering the Lightning Network===
Andreas, Roasbeef and Rene have blocked time on the weekend to work on mastering the Lightning Network! So you can go to https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook and check their current progress.
Quite some fundamental chapters of the book are written and the authors will be happy if you read them and give feedback. This could include:
* Feedback that something was too complicated, easy, boring, repetitive, poorly written or just awesome and should not change (:
* You can look at our current structure and pick up chapters or sections and just write some text
* Check the examples and pictures. Do we need better / more graphics and examples?
* Are we missing topics?
* Does the structure and read threat of the book make sense to you?
* even just improving the language to make it more simple, improve the grammer and spelling would be very welcome.
* Try running the Docker images and examples and give us feedback about that.

===Interface for standard banking software via FinTS===

Merchants accepting Bitcoin (over Lightning) need an easy way to integrate transactions into their existing bookkeeping software. Like you can connect your bank account to your bookkeeping software by the FinTS it would be great of you can connect your Lightning Node (running on a RaspiBlitz) to that software and manage your Bitcoin Holdings as a "Foreign Currency Account".

The GitHub-Issue with details: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/1186

There is a 0.03 BTC bounty to create a small server software (running on a lightning node) that implements a subset of the FinTS standard to connect and manage your Lightning transactions with a FinTS supporting bookkeeping software.

===Rust Lightning Network node===
Another LN node? Why we need it?

The problem with the existing Lightning node implementations is their very limited extensibility for such things as:

* future LN upgrades (channel factories, pay-to-ec-point, taproot),
* protocols on top of LN (layer 3), like DLCs on LN [https://hackmd.io/@lpQxZaCeTG6OJZI3awxQPQ/LN-DLC] or proposed Lightspeed payments [https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnpbps/issues/24], which require modification on the structure of the commitment transaction.
We will try to build a node that is highly modular and is ready for the future LN extensions. More information here: https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnpd

We will continue the Rust LN node development based on LNP/BP library; for more details you can refer our project backlog and todo issues here: https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnp-node/projects/1

During the hackathon we are planning to:

* Refactor LNP node with the latest developments from LNP/BP Standards Association:
* Use the new LNP networking protocol stack from rust-lnpbp library for note IPCs, RPCs and P2P
* Use LNP API tools and API code derive macros for doing API all requests
* Finalize P2P networking layer

==Adding your Project==

Feel free to add a challenge yourself! Ask Jeff or Rootzoll on the [https://mm.fulmo.org Mattermost] for the password to edit the Wiki-Page. If you have a GitHub Repo best practice is to put the label "hackathon" (yellow) next to issues you like people to join/help for the weekend. If you added a challenge please also get in touch on [https://mm.fulmo.org/fulmo/channels/lightning-hacksprint Mattermost] for more information and collaboration.
