Are we discussing lighthouse or the viability of gavincoin?
We are discussing the availability of the blockchain to support services/projects.
Using the block chain can't be free if Bitcoin is to survive in the long run. Lighthouse does not even use the space that is currently available so it's not what's stopping it.
Why do people always want to have it
their way? Who are you to decide that using the blockchain can't be free?
I think that the blockchain should be free for regular users and shouldn't be free for the ones that are using the blockchain for running a service/project/business/etc. We can have them both (free and paid), but we need to be open and not be horse-sighted.
