I don't know how you could get "There is not really a technical issue" from what I wrote. I think you just made that up in your head.
For the sake of clarity, I think you and many others like you chose to jump for the low-hanging fruit (bigger blocks) that pretends to be a scaling solution for Bitcoin, just because it is quick and dirty, and stands to potentially net a quick return as (stupid) people are fooled into believing the scaling issue is solved.
There is another solution (for those who believe there is a problem) that is clearly technically superior, and which is a lot more likely to allow Bitcoin to remain decentralized and retain its core value proposition. The only way anyone can ignore that is if they just don't care.
I am sure you will disagree with the points I make above, but the technical discussion of this stuff has been beat to death here, and if you don't agree with me by now, I'm sure you never will. I don't expect that you will stop your constant harangue against Blockstream and Core and all the evil you perceive in them. But I hope you will at least take a second to consider what your motivations really are.
calling segwit a scaling solution.. lol
1. its a single step .. not a scale. you cant resegwit a segwit
2. its not a fix/solution. even if activated it then requires people to be in a tier network and then move funds to new keypairs..
3. the moving of funds is a half promise gesture which wont meet the promises/expectations because not everyone will move funds to disarm themselves.
4. segwit is just about letting in more "soft" changes without consensus.. in technical terms this is called opening a backdoor into bitcoin
if you think LN is a scaling solution then get your calculator out.
1. it take 3tx to open/close a channel so not everyone will see the benefits of it.
2. not everyone uses bitcoin daily. LN has a niche for things like faucets. but most are already using xapo offchain already. so not much change
3. neither LN or segwit stops spamming. by keeping the 1mb base limit nothing has made it harder for spammers.
4. if spammers stick with native keys, it limits how many segwit tx's can get in and how many LN channels are used.
read the code next time not the reddit utopian 30 second elevator sales pitch thats full of holes.
oh. i havnt even told you all the new attack vectors segwit and LN open. but ill leave that for a different topic
