I was thinking that Microsoft might be getting pressure from the payment processor--if a transaction gets stuck in the blockchain for days and the price of bitcoin drops 50%, somebody loses. Not Microsoft, not the consumer, but BitPay or whoever is responsible for giving Microsoft the fiat and taking bitcoin. IMO, that's totally a valid concern for them and I understand that.
Come lightining 1 & 2 should be solved.
I can't wait for all of this. Bitcoin seriously needs some improvement before I'm comfortable spending it. It's just too much of a hassle right now.
