January 2019 Lightning Network News roundup

Hello Coiners,

Happy February.

I wanted to post a roundup of all the noteworthy news this month related to lightning. It's hard to remember everything that happens over a month in this exciting space and the pace of lightning development in the ecosystem seems to be picking up.

I essentially did a quick scrape of Reddit and Twitter for the last 30 days of all LN news and picked out some goodies.

If you have any feedback on the format, sources, or if I should link to reddit threads for discussion instead of direct links to article (when possible) please let me know in the comments.

Also, if I missed any particularly awesome stories, please comment or DM me and I'll add it to the list for posterity.

If you guys enjoy this I will try to keep doing it every month.

Enjoy.
