Are you going to put nothing in your article about the flaws and vulnerabilities of LN? I thought your article was going to be unbiased technological explanation but the introduction makes some biased, subjective claims about scaling and increased decentralization compared to traditional payment services. Thus I think you should balance that with a list of counter-claims against LN.

See the LN section:

Peer review is requested on that linked blog as well.

It is hard to follow along the twists and turns of of the argument the author is trying to make. I would love to understand what the hell he is talking about.

Thanks for the feedback! My goal in writing this piece was to explain how channels are constructed at the protocol layer, not to provide insight on cost/benefits of the LN itself. After hearing your comments and re-reading, I definitely agree that some of my language is (unintentionally) biased. I'm going to clean up the piece and create a more hard-lined distinction between what is inherent fact vs. claims made by LN.

I'll take a look at your post and provide insight as well!

I just finished writing an article that explains Lightning Channel construction and multi-hop transfers. Looking for anyone highly versed on LN protocols to peer review for technical accuracy before I publish. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I opened and made a bak copy,
I read the first 2 paragraphs and your writing skills and style sounds interesting, for instance words like "rail" have interesting meaning for our community.
Regards to the scientific method for research, I am not aware ~~with~~if we do have an association like ACM, IEEE, AAAI, etc ... I would bet that maybe we are more close to IACR

Anyway a quick question do you have a preferences for scientific citation style, while referring to others ?

for instance,
