Great that Coinzark added Viacoin.

Definitely going to try it soon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Also the Viacoin team updated the roadmap.

Lightning network is almost ready now !


As I`m not fully aware of lightening network details, isn`t it activated and already running as for now?
Or are we waiting for it`s implementation for the next year?
Just like with Bitcoin, you can use the lightning network for Viacoin right now. C-lightning or Eclair wallet. Can be found on github.

The reason people don't use it yet (same for bitcoin) it will require people to understand it first a bit before using it. It needs some time.

Do you think that those wallets will enable multi currency support plus atomic swaps? As far as decentralization goes, it would be perfect (for coins which share the same codebase)
Not sure about lightning wallets with atomic swap.

But I am working privately on my own github account on an Atomic Swap for altcoins (just like the decred one) but without the need for participants to run a (full) node/wallet of the coins at all.

People on twitter are excited about that. Because without the need for a wallet/node (rpc) has never been done.
