This toxic community doesn't *want* it. Take your wooden pony & go home.

Then saying that the community is dumb would be a huge understatement. Bitcoin will never be able to scale to a global level without technologies such as LN.

The trick is not to give people what they do not want, just because you think it's for their own good.
Begging gubermint analogy.

>They have only 1 developer on the payroll working on it IIRC.
Other core devs on their payroll, like Wuille and Maxwell. One's enough tho. Hard to ignore the potential for conflict of interests.

1 developer working on LN. Mentioning Wuille and Maxwell is a straw man argument. Since you've mentioned 'conflict of interest': The Toomin brothers are working hard to make consider.it the main platform (decision wise) for Bitcoin. There's no conflict of interest there obviously. Roll Eyes

Blockstream is funding SegWit. Blockstream employs top core apparatchiks, who are championing SegWit. Blockstream employs a SegWit dev. What more do you want?

And don't misunderstand me, not pushing the Toomin bros, just saying that a fox guarding your chickens is a bad idea, not that you should hire a weasel to do the job.
A fundamental problem: you gotta trust somebody. One that Bitcoin hasn't quite solved Sad
