Here are the reasons why I think lightning is a failed idea and I would like your input about whether you see it succeeding or not.
You can't say something failed when number of nodes, channels and users are growing all the time for Lightning Network.If you are trying to advertise some altcoins, I can tell you that most if not all of them failed to deliver what they promised.
Lightning is only necessary because the dev team refuses to scale the base layer.
This is not true.Bitcoin code was chjanged many times on base layer, and some developers formed their own shitcoins and tried this ''revolutionary'' change.
Nothing happened, most of the miners continue mining Bitcoin and result is that you have trolls, scammers and liars like CSW Faketoshi and Roger Ver.
They worked together and then other people left them and fork their own crap.
The lightning network could be repurposed to be much more usable by dropping bitcoin from it entirely.
Lightning Network can work separate from Bitcoin, and there is nothing new about that, you didn't invent warm water again.What are your uncensored thoughts on lightning?
I didn't notice any heavy censorship in other LN topics, unless you are CSW RV troll who is writing only their propaganda.
