There are 5 independent companies developing their own versions of the lightning network. First one( Dryjas Lightning Network) is expected this summer.

P.S... As quick as you buttcoiners can create new shill newbie accounts I can ignore them. At least Jorge Stolfi has something slightly technical/valid to discuss (with a few misguided and ignorant statements thrown in -- "secured by a network with 1.5 PH/s
of mining power" .... LOL, really? Have you been asleep for the last 3 years Stolfi? We are in the Exa Hash/s Era if you haven't been paying attention)
Troll Harder and try buying/developing some shill accounts that are outside of newbie status to make it more subtle newbie buttcoiners.
