One of the bitcoin community’s most beloved veterans just got a promotion.
Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk, Casa has elevated Jameson Lopp to CTO eight months after he joined the crypto custody solutions startup as an infrastructure engineer. In this newly-created position, Lopp will focus on making sure the company's products complement its annual $10,000 premium vault service with a waiting list that already includes hundreds of bitcoin users.
For example, the startup has sold more than 500 Casa Lightning Nodes, a device introduced in early September which taps into a second-layer scaling solution for bitcoin transactions called the Lightning Network.
