I look forward to Lightning Network if it works as we all hope it does. Hopefully it only requires soft forks to implement.
I'd love to run a lightning node and charge a few bit cents for running it to have a small income from my holdings.
Yes, this is an often ignored point drowned out by the critics, conspiracy theorists, and trolls of blockstream. LN is open source, was invented and primarily being developed outside of Blockstream, and is going to offer a viable
solution to the dilemma of node centralization by incentivizing node operators.Ok correct me if I'm wrong but centralization of nodes could get some power to the one running them no? Hence decentralization seems a good thing, but if anyone wants to centralize the nodes of the LN, he will only need to put his nodes for free! Then nobody else will use the paying nodes no?
