To make this interesting more nominations should come in not minding where the newbie is coming from, provided they meet the criteria of the OP then the best man wins.

I assume this is directed at me, since you quoted my post. I wouldn't care at all where a member is from even if I had that knowledge, but the fact is that the posts submitted thus far have been in English and we're basically judging members on what they've posted.

Take this snippet from KingsDen's post:

To continually enhance the adoption of LN, it is pertinent to make its algorithm less ambitious compared to the algorithm of the problem it tends to solve(bitcoin).
The complexity of blockchain and btc is actually a piss to many and a factor hindering its massive adoption.
I therefore urge us to be less technical in this thread in order to answer some unanswered questions, many answered and some unexpected questions(maybe worthless in the eyes of many).
Having acknowledged the works of Joseph Poon, Dryja and others for the success of LN, I also praise.
Can we please see the below questions together that may be running in the minds of most newbies in LN like myself.

1. Is Lightening Network only out to solve BTC problems? If no, are all altcoins eligible to use it, if not now maybe in the future when the need arises. Or would there be or is there solution to altcoins limitations?

If you can sit there and tell me with a straight face that what was written above is profound, well written, interesting, and/or is of high value then you ought to be a professional poker player. All I'm going to say about the above snippet is that it's fluff. And the part I bolded....what?

Yes, I merited that post. I couldn't tell you what I was thinking, but it was probably that KingsDen had put some effort into it and therefore deserved some merit. My opinion at this moment is that it didn't deserve as many merits as it got.

The bottom line is that if you're writing in the English language, having a good command of it (like n0nce does) can enhance the message you're trying to get across. If you don't, it's like listening to AM radio while driving through New York City--there's a lot of static and the signal-to-noise ratio is very low.
