Hi

Thanks for the demo Christian.

Randy, you might like to know that I noticed that lightningd is using
port 8334 and that namecoind has used port 8334 since it was launched in
May 2011.

After a single confirmation, he paid the invoice with a 100 satoshi transfer. Afterward, he accessed the link to find his cat picture (see http://128.199.80.48/?43744e221d794dcc0e61f8a757fa0346). He discovered it was an ASCII picture, with a nice bonus. Two cats! Christian promptly opened another node, connected to the first node, and bought a second copy of the cat picture by routing through the previous node.

Their work shows how, by way of simple analogy, one can create a streetmap to get from A to B in an efficient way, while the test we've demonstrated here with v0.5 of the C lightning prototype has us actually walking that path on the street.
