They claim that by removing TX data they can have 100 TPS.
So all this cunning plotting and scheming that goes behind the backdoors is what worries me. The block is not a lab rat to try out all sorts of crazy ideas on. If we want a stable system with pre defined constants (21 m coin limit, SHA256 based mining algo, etc), then we also need to agree on one thing.
Which is that the transaction code should not be stripped away.
You do realize that by putting the blockchain data on a 2nd layer, you are essentially creating a centralized database.
You're still talking about a system called Lightning that is nothing like the actual proposed Lightning Network from Poon & co. When will you release this alternative Lightning of yours? When you release your altcoin too, huh?
The real Lightning network is still possible today, and you said you'd leave in an instant if you thought it was even a possibility.
So why are you still here trolling? Leave Bitcoin, as per your threat, or stop being a vacuous drama queen (yet more justification not to take your words seriously)
