"If the bitcoin blockchain were a horse, ordinary hub-and-spoke payment channel proposals would be proposing to replace that horse with a truck; the Lightning guys are proposing to replace that horse with a rocket ship."  -- Peter Todd

Requires some more work and a soft fork to implement. The future looks bright Smiley

A leading candidate for testing the soft-fork on a sidechain perhaps.

Merge-mined sidechains require a fork too!  Cheesy

I guess a federated sidechain could do it.
