My reference to independent 'design, implementation, and management' of sidechains was not referring to Blockstream specifically.  On the contrary, my understanding is that the sidechains would NOT e under Blockstream control.  Therefore not even Blockstream could trust that they would be secure or work as claimed.

Get your story straight Jorge, you were claiming that Blockstream was a centralising influence not long ago. When decentralisation is manifest, you attack that. When centralisation is the only valid solution, you attack that too. It's so pathetically transparent, and you've used this tactic with all sorts of aspects of Bitcoin in the past.

Yet according to you, you're constantly buying Bitcoin. Real consistent, Jorge.


But the reason I am bothered about the Lightning Network and the "fee market" is that I am a comp sci prof and they are bad computer science.  Imagine how a physicist would react if someone proposed to replace coal stations by perpetual motion generators.

And the reason I am bothered by Blockstream is that I have this problem with cheats and liars...

No wonder you exhibit such self loathing then, you cheat and lie your way through nary every exchange you've conducted on this forum for several years. Several. Years. Will you eventually hit adulthood?
