Did you message franky when you made this topic? That's probabky have been a better way to go about this if you didn't.

Also banning people for their views is something I don't think this forum has a engaged with and probably shouldn't. It's up for users to discuss others views, not just an "I don't like them: smite".


There are many suggestions for improving throughput and speed already that haven't been adopted (and some throughput work seems to be in the pipine too, things just take a while for the bitcoin devs to adopt.

I also remember receiving similar complaints when I used to suggest litecoin for its speed and low fees. Both are things that rely on blockchain technology and are usable and testable now, we don't have to wait for a 2 year roadmap from the bitcoin devs to test out certain parts of the flexibility of crypto and blockchain (this is not an attack on the devs, it's a mention that picking something less proven but testable can be used elsewhere). I don't think I fully agree with the centralised vision for the LN too but I'd expect there to be decentralised solutions/communities that spring from it.

The idea that bitcoin and altcoins are separate is not one that needs to continue, as I've said before, if everything's open source bitcoin can adopt the strangths of other coins anyway.
