SegWit seems to have so many advantages, that I don't see why so many people object to it. Why don't you adopt it, and lets get on with getting Bitcoin accepted for the payment for virtual assets .
Advantage
 #1 : Allowing the LN devs to steal transactions fees directly from the miners.
(And expecting the miners to agree to it.)  Tongue

Say if your really feel that way, PM me your BTC private keys & address, so I can take your money away from you.  Cheesy
(That is what you are asking the miners to do.)

You say the miners have the right to receive a fee for every transaction, even if it is not included in a block found by them?! Never! The day the miners act as a central bank / owner of the Bitcoin system is the day we need to get rid of those miners!

This means the number 1 priority for the next hard-fork is changing the mining algorithm!


OK, you are confused.  Wink
Miners only receive transaction fees for the individual blocks they include transactions in.


 Cool
