You could have at least checked what was the discussion about? We were talking about Blockstream and Jonald used "they" and commected it to "lightning payment network" which is his mistake and not mine. But still, I should have corrected him, which is my mistake.
Is Blockstream not working on the Lightning network? Is
this article wrong?
One developer at Blockstream has been assigned to lightning. Out of a team of nearly a dozen.
Since Lightning is open source Blockstream has no proprietary advantage over its development, its deployment or monetization.
They can fork it. So, they would need someone with deeper understanding of the technology to make a profit out of that.
I am not saying, that they are really doing that, but that would not be something unusual.
