and as for the whole comparing LN to the internet in 1991.. nope. bitcoin even from day one was able to install and make transactions without headaches.
Really?How did you store your private key back in 2009-2010?
BIP39 didn't exist.
There's a constant evolution towards making Bitcoin more and more user-friendly. It's too bad you don't see it.
Just like the internet evolved from CLI/Gopher to GUI/Tik Tok.
I reckon it won't take 30+ years for BTC/LN to become mainstream. Adoption lag keeps decreasing with every new technology.
bitcoin actually worked from day one. it didnt need several installs and scripts to link several instals together. it was just one instal file and job done. it had a easy to use user interface from day one.
UNLIKE LN
also LN has had 6 years and yet things like avalance has grabbed more locked btc liquidity in 2 years than LN managed in 6. get it yet?
whilst idiots are saying bitcoin should not evolve more transaction count until LN gets popular. LN is already failing the "get popular task" and so that benchmark requirement to then allow for development of bitcoin onchain scaling needs to be dropped
the whole "just be patient" response about why isnt bitcoin scaling. is lame and a dead excuse. bitcoin should continue evolving for bitcoin onchain ease of use not for creating features for dying subnetworks that will never prosper
if you really want a subnetwork for the niche things you think LN should be used for. its time you realise LN wont prosper those results and you lot should start a fresh clean network with better code and less flaws. learn from your mistakes.
