Wow. So some idiot asks these questions on twitter and all of a sudden these are 'common misconceptions' ? This whole thread is a fraud, you make it look like there are just some 'common misconceptions' and that people just don't understand it. While the reality is that there are some really big problems with LN, like I outlined in that thread I linked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2792933 . You can also read about those problems all over the internet: https://www.google.com/search?ei=En-MWtj-B8bX5gK4lqvQBQ&q=why+lightning+network+will+fail&oq=why+light&gs_l=psy-ab.3.0.35i39k1j0i203k1l9.23339.26530.0.28147.25.18.5.0.0.0.259.2095.0j12j2.14.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..7.18.1911...0j0i67k1j0i10k1j0i13k1j0i10i203k1j0i22i10i30k1j0i22i30k1.0.EoguTQ3fY1E
