Lightning Browser Extension

During the last hacksprint we started a new Lightning Browser Extension to bring Lightning payments to the browser. The goal is to have a lightweight extension that can connect to multiple node implementations.

In this hacksprint we try to continue working on it and get the extension into an usable state. Any ideas and help welcome (specifically React frontent work... ;)

Moneysocket

During the last hacksprint, we started working on the Costanza wallet for Moneysocket. That's now complete.

The challenge this time around is to build a chat application that utilizes Moneysocket. An intro video introduces this project: https://youtu.be/0lsvMAFG2Qk.

This will be built with a Python websocket server backend and a Javascript client frontend. Happy for any help or just to chat about related ideas and concepts.
