Lightning Test Moves Bitcoin Scaling Into Striking Distance
A lesser-known startup has successfully tested an important piece of bitcoin's scaling puzzle.
Widely considered to be the best way to boost bitcoin's transaction capacity, the Lightning Network proposes a way to execute the majority of bitcoin transactions without involving the blockchain or compromising the network's decentralized architecture.
But, as a relatively new proposal, it's still very much a work in progress. That's one reason why recent tests completed by a French company called Acinq have generated so much excitement.
