LN is not even a layer. its like trying to say bank notes are a layer of gold

No one gives two shits if you want to call it a layer or not.  Honestly thought you would have considered a longer break from taking potshots at lightning after your last humiliation where you made an utterly feeble attempt to backpedal after finally realising your mistake.  But okay, make a fool of yourself once again.  It's good entertainment if nothing else.  It's not like anyone takes you seriously, aside from cryptohunter, another total wingnut.  But hey, you fruitloops gotta stick together, right?


LN is not even a unique feature solely for btc.

Other coins have LN support, but do they have LN acceptance for real-world transactions?  Keep repeating the same old moronic catchphrases like a gormless parrot, but it won't change the part where other coins cannot replicate network effects even if they can replicate the code.  You are beyond stupid if you cannot comprehend this.


but carry on promoting it fan girls. but atleast be honest about what it is and isnt.

There's a difference between "promoting it" and "correcting blatant lies about it spread by obsessed, pathetic losers".  I'm only guilty of the latter.


even saying stupid things like it can only evolve using a hardfork. by using examples of 2014-6 drama
yet 2014-6 drama were not even hardfork proposals nor contentious. they would not have upgraded unless majority.
the real drama was core refused to even give the community the choice to download core with the bip. thus it was dev rule not code rule.
it was cores decisions in 16 to release something they prefered and months later didnt even get 35%.
it was core who had to force THEIR upgrade. but this upgrade did not improve transaction throughput. but instead allowed scripts that are compatible with other networks

Ah yes, the usual contradiction in terms where you bitch about devs supposedly being in control of everything, but at the same time you freely choose to rely on them for everything because you're either too inept or too lazy to work out a viable alternative.  Never gets old.  Please keep telling us how Bitcoin is better than all the altcoins but at the same time it's also terrible because your fantasy version that will never exist would be better somehow.   Roll Eyes

How many times do you have to be told that every lunatic on the face of the planet is not owed their own personal client to incorporate their vision for how this should work?  Devs are not your servants.  They don't produce what you demand, you entitled manbaby.  You have all the choices you need: 

  • Use Bitcoin without LN and accept the rules enforced by consensus that allow others to experiment with things you don't personally approve of
  • Use Bitcoin and LN
  • Fork off and STFU
  • Use an altcoin and STFU

Those are the same options available to everyone.  Why do you feel you deserve other options where people you've never even met are somehow compelled to cater to your desires above everyone else's and produce some code just for you?  Who are you to decide the entire community wanted that specific BIP you clearly wanted and not a different one?  You must have one hell of an ego.
