You don't understand how Lightning works then; the transactions are on-chain, but the settlement is still only per block.

I've found that directing people to the description of transaction cut-through has helped open their eyes to the fact that transactions can use the blockchain without every one of them being stuffed into it.

Could you imagine a country designed by block maximalists? Every trade, agreement, and contract would have to be held before the highest court!

"How can business be possible with only 125 cases per year? We must scale the court!"

Can you imagine if a spoon was a fork?

What a pain it would be to eat soup!

I think you are starting to crack under the pressure gmax.
I'm surprised you're even posting in a #REKT thread lol.

"Block maximalists"? NO, we just want 2 freaking MB
so we can feel like we're not being stonewalled and
made to wait with no clear time table...and
we don't want to wait until blocks are so full that the
network is grinding to a halt.

Is that so unreasonable? Or was I right that
its just not your in business interests to
support that?

Lookit! This isn't a democracy. You can't just question things. You want to ask about Satoshi? It's silly. Don't! Want to discuss technical details you aren't possibly qualified to understand? Get over to Reddit with the rest of the teeming unbanked. Either accept the changes being made to the Holy Ledger or find yourself a nice altcoin somewhere!
