I was reading about Bluetooth Low Energy, which led me to the idea of running a Lightning node completely offline—using the Internet only to open and close channels on‑chain. From there, I began wondering:
Are there existing proposals or active discussions specifically about an air‑gapped Lightning Network?
What technical challenges have people identified in making Lightning work over BLE/Wi‑Fi mesh?
Could anyone point me to relevant papers or implementation experiments I could study or contribute to?
PS: I’m completely new to Lightning network, so I may have overlooked aspects that contradict the idea of an air‑gapped setup. Apologies if that’s the case!
