Guess I need to do some research on Lightning, as this post above is pretty damn interesting.
I've seen a lot of hate on Lightning as of lately, but this seems like a cool implementation idea. Thanks for posting.
Who is hating Lightning Network? when we can save a lot of transaction fees although it has some limitations. But it could really help in a way, specially if we go on another parabolic run choking the network.
So if you wanted to pay someone, you can take advantage of LN, open a channel so that the other party can issue the payment without adding congestion to the network, p2p, off-chain transaction.
