PeerSwap, Breez SDK and Mutiny Wallet FAQ
I want to thank you for subscribing to LNROOM newsletter. I had a really great time this year sharing with you some of the articles, podcasts and repositories related to the Lightning Network I found interesting.
I'm a big fan of technical podcasts, so if there's one that comes to mind that I haven't mentioned, please feel free to share it with me.
I'm always looking to learn more!
Did you miss some of 2023 newsletters: No problem, I published them at:

Balancing LN channels is a never-ending task. Many tools/protocols exist to make it easier. One of them is PeerSwap:
It enables Lightning Network nodes to balance their channels by facilitating atomic swaps with direct peers. Tom Kirkpatrick, Strike's CTO, wrote about it in Peerswaps, A Lightning channel rebalancing mechanism.
He also shared a docker stack and scripts to get familiar with PeerSwap:

This is something you may want to look at.
Do you remember that we talked in LNROOM newsletter #8 about Breez SDK:
https://github.com/breez/breez-sdk
This SDK is an end-to-end, non-custodial, drop-in solution powered by Greenlight, a built-in LSP, on-chain interoperability, third-party fiat on-ramps, and other services users and operators need.
Roy Sheinfeld, Co-Founder and CEO of Breez, talks about it in "Building on Lightning" series that you may found interesting. So far there are 3 articles:
Solutions like Breez SDK which uses Greenlight (Lightning as a service) help avoid certain problems that can arise with applications that bundle with a node in your phone.
Tony Giorgio which work on Mutiny wallet which bundle a Lightning Node talks in Mutiny Wallet FAQ post of some of the edge cases a Mutiny user may face while this wouldn't be the case for custodial Lightning user.
We're done with 2023! Let's go 2024!
Have a nice day, See you next time, Tony Aldon https://lnroom.live
