Nice colourful diagram.

Now if i am A and i want to transfer 100 BTC to E.

B, C, D would require 200 BTC + fees deposit?

not my best work, just found sometimes people cant read and prefer to see pictures..

but anyway IF you had 100BTC and wanted to pay E 100btc.. then the DNS system would have to find a route of participants that would get from A to E and al of which have OVER 200 in the channel, per channel to to be able to hop the funds along

from all the talk at the moment most LN devs are saying that LN should only hold around $60 or 0.05btc per counterpart.
which i think is fair due to LN's utility only being for the small stuff and the risks that LN devs still has not patched yet

Excatly. Who will do that?

A huge assumption.
