Scaling != LN. Two different things. I hope you're not telling me that by pointing out LN's shortcomings, I'm betting on failure.
There's that changing a constant trick. More than one way to skin a cat, but LN ain't one of them.
i have made my views on scaling clear, ( i
want to see node centralization, i want a crypto decentralized amongst gov/company/bank/universities/etc. i dont care about individuals users running nodes. )
but my view is extremely unpopular.
I yield to the will of the majority.
If the majority is wrong, and is sinking all of its efforts into an exercise in mental masturbation, going with the majority is simply wrong. And asking me to support wasted effort, building a scaling solution that's not a scaling solution but is, basically, a solution in need of a problem, that's wrong too. I'm not going to cheer it on just because "we are pushing with everything we got."
I think its important to investigate how things like LN could be beneficial.
mean while BU is pushing in the other direction.
one way or another, we will scale.
