What Hardware do you think LN hubs will be using?
Why do people want to exclude that hardware for bitcoin but include it for LN?
LN is outside the scope when we're talking about block size / time interval.
Ethereum blockchain is based on a trying to be a smart contract system with millions of different coins on it.
Don't try and be a programming language instead of a blockchain and the insane bloat they have won't follow.
It's just an example since there are very few cryptocurrency whose blockchain size or average blockchain size growth is bigger than Bitcoin.
Considering Litecoin has an equivalent blocksize 4X bitcoin size in a 10 minute period.
Moving bitcoin to an 8MB block is still less than litecoin and you don't hear litecoin node operators whining like little girls.
Sad day when bitcoin community is too scared to even come near litecoin transactions performance, let alone exceed it.
While it's true LTC have bigger block size and faster block time interval, LTC's average block size and average blockchain size growth are smaller Bitcoin, which makes poor/inaccurate comparison.
If there's research/stress test about resource usage on LTC's full node when LTC is used at 100% capacity for some time, that would be good comparison.
