The Spark
LightingPiggy was born in an Amsterdam bar during Bitcoin 2022. Bitcoin3us was looking for an LNbits developer to build the first lightning enabled piggy bank for a www.Bolt.fun competition that was running at the time. BlackCoffee had been meaning to build something similar for his kids and that’s how LightningPiggy entered the world.
