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.
