If you’re reading this and want more tools to be built for the community – upvote it. Upvote the new tech people are working on to raise awareness of the stuff beyond ETFs, hacks, and coindesk that are coming from within the community 🙂
I just wrote a simple one-way payment channel, I’ll be adding a basic web-app interface to it for consuming it and integrating with Metamask. I just finished the tests and wanted to put this out there in case anyone wanted to take a peek while I work out the frontend 🙂
