lol
1. the double spend issue is still a problem
2. even the glossy roadmap explains the problem
3. block inflate.. oooh so ur against blocks being above 0.1mb in 2009, 0.3mb in 2012 0.5mb in 2013 0.7mb in 2014. 0.9mb in 2015..
4. as for LN
did you know it requires dual signatures..
1) In the ACTUAL network (mainnet) yes ... not in the
TestNet SegWit.
2) You use the merchand problem, ok ... merchant MUST upgrade when SegWit is Enforced = problem solve.
3) Block Inflate want 8Mb permanently. You don't host a FULL node, yeah ... ? That's why you don't understand the decentralized manner of store the information and segregate this information for the storage.
4) And ?
LN is supported by the server in an offchain server ... not a problem.
Only benefic for HACKED exchanges (example, but plastic card is the next challenger for NFC/RFID Hack proximity sniffing).
