Those are questions asked from his Twitter. Stop trying to make yourself look "smart".

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

Sorry, I assumed they were asked on Twitter. Watch the video, he looked like he was reading some text then started answering them.

For your concerns, go post in Andreas Antonopolous' Twitter and bring all of them there. I'm sure you will get all the answers you are looking for. Or show him your thread, maybe he'll grace us with his presence. Hehehe.

Plus, I agree. There are problems in LN, that's why it's not even in beta yet. But that does not mean the developers should not work on a layer 2 solution.
