What is the net result of the mob style introduction of lightning.
1.) shifted the only alternative from litecoin to bitcoin cash
2.) created numerous forks all (most) share the same deflation aspect making bitcoin weaker in the process
3.) created disharmony, lawsuits, confusion and personal insults
I could not care less about Roger or Dr. whats his name. I care about the technical aspect and generally myself.
Isn't there some old saying, Better the Devil you know that the one not known.
Is the forced deviation for pure personal gains/interests by a bunch of individuals of which Lee was one of the main characters (and now wants unlimited bitcoin because of security issues) and had to venture several times to china to convince the miners (and probably forget a suitcase full of coins in the office) in the process or is there a deeper reason?
It is plain stupid to tell someone to buy some money. Bitcoin is an investment. Far better tools exist or can be used to pay for a coffee....
Money has no value it is just a tool. To add the bill of the coffee to my phone bill is just fine at the same time i would not top the phone up with life savings or some crazy amount.
Lighting is akin to ripple tech, no-one with sound mind sinks so low.
I don't claim to have a lot of technical skills, but I fail to understand the jist of your supposed concern about lightning... From what I understand, lighting is in a testing phase that is getting a lot of increased usage, use of
lightning is voluntary, lightning is largely pegged to bitcoin, so I have no idea how it could reasonably in any way be related to a centralized supply scam, such as ripple.
For the time. Will you give personal guarantee that it will remain so for ever. I can tell you it will not, why? Same reason as always enough money hungry whores exist.
I don't know what the fuck you are talking about. None of us know how the future is going to evolve, and we can only project, yet the here and now is the main thing that matters. If you want to contribute to the direction of lightning then build on it or contribute to some competing project... otherwise, if we are talking about BTC walls and BTC prices, then we currently we can choose the extent to invest into BTC or some other project.. so who gives a shit, in terms of current relevancy, if 50 years down the road, lightning might become so dominant that it is no longer voluntary. You seem to be speculating about some kind of compelling force that has no bais in reality in order to spread FUD about some system (aka lightning) that is taking over and as if you have no fucking choice, but the reality of the matter is that you do. If you find utility in lightning, then use it, and if you don't then don't. Others are going to make similar choices regarding a variety of competing products and whether they recognize any use case in lightning network in its early stages of development or sometime later down the road. You seem to be going on and on and on about some speculation that has little to no basis in reality because right now people can decide and they have choices and if lightning provides a superior product that people find useful, then it will get used, and if it does not, then it will not be used.
Satoshi and scam ripple are light years apart. Lightning is much closer related to scam ripple than to Satoshi.
O.k. Don't fucking use it then. Again, you seem to proclaiming some kind of baseless theory about lightning taking over the world of bitcoin - similar to what the bitcoin bashers and alt coin pumpers. You hardly seem to be providing any kind of meaningful information with your exaggerated bad comparisons (ripple, come on?) and seemingly fear based speculation.
Satoshi give me an address and i sent you some coins, scam ripple lets establish a banking channel, NO get lost i dont want your scam.
Why don't you provide some actual facts and some actual logic rather than spouting out baseless attempts to trigger with your stupid ass ripple exaggeration comparison.
Again, lightning is in early testing stages and it is pegged to actual bitcoin not some paper tiger scam like ripple... You are going to get on the nerves of a lot of folks, robin hood, if you continue to spout such baseless exaggerated nonsense.. and maybe you need to go to some alt coin thread or bcash thread so you can harmonize with those folks about the supposed "greatness" of on chain scaling and the supposed "evils" of lightning network (I gather you are against the use of segregated witness, too?
)
