Bitcoin Argentina, an NGO focused on promoting Bitcoin, offers a virtual training titled “Introduction to Lightning Network”.
According to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine, the course aims to educate participants on the operation and development possibilities of the Layer 2 solution that operates on top of the Bitcoin network.
Jimena Vallone, Executive Director of Bitcoin Argentina, said: “With the NGO Bitcoin Argentina, we want to bring knowledge about this technology and generate practical and theoretical spaces that allow professionals, specialists, users and interested parties to explore its uses and its potential.”
The course, which will begin on May 23, will be taught by eminent specialists in the field, including Nicolás Bourbon, Francisco Calderon, Federico Andragnes and members of Satoshi’s Bookstore, Laura Medina and Gustavo Torres. The program will cover introductory aspects of Bitcoin, the mining process, the structure and operation of the Lightning Network, technological implications for network growth, digital wallets, transactions and fraud prevention.
Bitcoin Argentina has already organized the Lightning Hackday in Buenos Aires, which received a positive response from participants. Vallone expressed the organization’s motivation behind the training course, saying, “We want to provide the tools necessary for more and more people to experience the potential of decentralized technologies and the financial innovation that started with Bitcoin in 2009”.
Interested persons can register for the course directly or through the NGO website, with limited places available. Participants will receive a certificate of participation at the end of the program.
