Thanks @vegansilverstack for getting me thinking! I don't like Bitcoin...it's slow, it's expensive to move around etc.
Here's and update:
"The public alpha release Daemon was made on 10 January 2017. In April 2017, Syscoin has confirmed it has introduced the Lightning Network (LN) on its mainnet, becoming the first cryptocurrency to achieve the milestone. The Release Candidate (RC1) of the Lightning protocol was released on 6 December 2017."
d, I am going to HODL some Bitcoin!
