Translations:Welcome to Plebnet/19/en

• Please contribute if you are able! Plebs just like you are volunteering their time and expertise to help the next pleb. This is probably my favorite thing about PlebNet - seeing someone who joined a week ago jump in to help out a new pleb and answer their questions is really amazing. The three links above will most likely lead you to anything you are looking for, including a list of Lightning-related telegram groups (support chats for Raspiblitz, bos, and Umbrel for example), and many more gems of knowledge. If you are still stumped and want to ask in PlebNet, we are lucky to have the entire range of lightning user: literally, plebs that are developing on lightning, to a pleb with a fashion design background, oh and some pretty well-known champions of bitcoin as well 😉. I am fairly confident in saying that, at this time, it is the best hub of connections and resources for the lightning network.

PlebNet infrastructure: as PlebNet has grown, we have evolved, and adjusted, and reinvented into what we are today. Currently, we have 7 different tiers of telegram groups for different purposes:

• PLEBNET - LIGHTNING 101: https://t.me/CHLNgroup this group is fantastic with onboarding users to custodial Lightning, and helping people make their first transactions on the lightning network. People may get their minds blown by the speed and cheap fees that are a product of the lightning network.
• PLEBNET: https://t.me/plebnet this is the place. The largest PlebNet group, with a super amazing graph/web of plebs, where resources flow and friends are made!
• PLEBNET // NODERUNNERS: This group is a little smaller and focused on those who have gotten their node up and running and have a few channels, aka have made the steps beyond the initial setting up a node, and are ready to talk a little more serious about node running. If you think you are ready, give a shoutout to @AEHW1 to add you over to this group. Checklist 1. Use telegram user id 2. Claim your node with @CheeseRobot 3. Announce the node in Plebnet. 4. Enable Group Invite in your TG settings.
• PLEBNET ADVANCED: This group is specifically focused on the development of the network and tools for routing and network optimization. Think super technical mumbojumbo and people creating and troubleshooting tools that could one day we could all be using for our nodes, who knows!
• #Plebs2Salvador: This group was created to build endless chains of 69 to celebrate the day El Salvador adopted BTC as legal currency. The chain is still ongoing and it is a nice side group for new node runners. You receive a channel from a previous peer and you commit to open a 1m or higher channel to your next peer. No maximum, 21 69 420 sats girth preferred.
• PLEBNET Español: http://es.plebnet.org This group is specifically focused on Spanish-speaking people interested in learning about Lightning and setting up a node.
• PLEBNET for BUSINESS: https://t.me/plebnetbusiness This group is where Businesses come to learn about Lightning and setting up nodes for their business.
