Subject: [Lightning-dev] An Open Source Framework to Collect Lightning
	Network Metrics
Message-ID: <CU3LDCU0G7ZD.VOE3ZX54Y6O5@vincent-arch>

Hi all,

    I would like to share one of my many side 
projects where I spend some time thinking
about how to collect data on the lightning network
to see the evolution of the network, evaluate possible 
solution proposals like channel jamming by seeing the 
tangible impact on the network other than simulation 
results and support University Research that does not
have access to real data.

    The idea aims how to define and collect information
 that can be shared later between people to evaluate ideas/proposals.

    A more detailed idea is defined in [1], and an experimental
explorer is available at [2] other than exposing a public Graphql API [3].

With the hope that this will be useful for someone.

Vincent.
