Lightning atop Bitcoin Segwit? With everyone settling twice a day? Great - you've just set the max number of users at less than quarter-million.

Is that what you wanted? If not, perhaps you need to devote more thought.

I'm not sure where you get your quarter-million number from. Bitcoin before gets us 3 to 4 tx/s or about half a million transactions a day, with Segwit that doubles, and if sometime in the future the blocksize is increased (the proper consensus agreed way), that doubles again. So we have 4 million transactions a day.

Each of those transactions can be Lightning'd, as opening or closing a channel is just one transaction. So that's 4 million times maybe 1 million, or about a trillion transactions per day.

This does not include any other off chain scaling solutions or payment channels that are not Lightning, such as inside the same wallet (coinbase to coinbase.)


Also, LN is not for those BIG transactions you mention, for those you use regular "blockchain" tx.

What I meant is that on LN is about equivalent in total value to one of my big transactions.

Indeed. Hopefully there will be a less anti Western / pro China / pro North Korea leader in charge soon..

Really? You mean Zims will be better if colonial status is reestablished in this country?


Of course not.
Trade doesn't mean we go back to the British rule / pillaging / apartheid days.

Surely it would be at least fruitful for the people of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabweans over here if the British prime minister made a statement about the situation in Zimbabwe and to at least state that Britain is open to have a conversation with whomever is in charge next to see if we can help.
The British government has already stated many times that foreign aid will not be cut. I don't see why a Zimbabwe without a dictator could not benefit from that.
There is life in the world outside of the EU and we should be keen to help considering the historical (mostly I agree negative) and language ties.

BUT BUT by help do you mean send in the economic hitmen with globalization? IMF Trojan loans etc? Or by help do you mean covertly funding a coup and/or economic sanctions against the population aka IRAQ/IRAN/N.KOREA/VENEZUELA/CUBA etc

Communist much?

I dont know how to respond to this.

American much?

No, European much.



Haha no not European or are you saying you are European, because that pretty much means American. Who controls Europe through NATO again?

What does that have to do with what geographical region in the world I am from? Don't you know the difference between politics and geography? Are your IQ subpar or does your country simply have really bad schools?

Ok lets recap...

You said it is better for Zimbabwe to move away from China/East and have closer ties to USA/Europe/West
I said that history teaches us me (obviously not you) that African countries in general do not benefit from closer ties to the West.
I mentioned the usual scenario of IMF/Economic Hitmen or Dictator sponsorship/coup deta is NOT a benefit/any help to African/3rd world countries
You replied... "Communist Much"
I then replied in a similar childish manner "American Much" since you brought up the old US Cold War mindset of anyone disagreeing with US economic policy must mean Communism
You replied "No, European Much"
This made no sense to me. I wasnt sure if you were insinuating that I am European or that you are. Either way I replied that Europe and the US is the same garbage.
Now your bringing IQ into the equation.

My Conclusion?

This conversation is going nowhere and you are a tool. Maybe read a little history before making stoopid comments about politics.

Happy bitcoining

No I didn't, that was bitcionbunny.
And your comments have nothing with history to do, they are just political crap. Said by someone who has actually studied history.

Sorry your right you started with the childish US mentality comment "Communist Much". The comments before regarding moving away from East and to the West was indeed bitcoinbunny. At least that was a proper comment and not a childish remark but hey. It can get confusing here on The Wall!!!

Is that LTC just pumping - or are people using it for ways to transfer money cheaply between exchanges?
I don't know about anyone else, but I definitely used it for this purpose during the BitcoinCash fork.

Makes sense - can't in all conscience use BCH Wink

Well, one interesting question is how is the hash rate at BTC doing. Miners all quitting it?

C

You can see it here: https://fork.lol/pow/hashrate

It looks like they don't dare *not* to mine BTC, they need every BTC they can get to defend the price of BCH not to go into laughable territory, which quickly approaches.

I'm not exactly sure how Lightning is going to work, but I am almost certain that most people or entities that will open channels will close them within the day, probably a few times a day, or twice a day. So settle twice a day.

I get the total opposite impression myself. Mechanisms will evolve that mean once you're in you can stay in for good if you wish. But what do any of us know at this point?

I also understood that opened channel is meant to be there to stay. What's the point of it otherwise if it is going to be closed/reopened/closed/etc, you might as well do everything on chain like it is done now? We sure do need knowledge-base about all this, hope the developers will raise their heads for a few minutes and give us some more details.

*Brute force will solve any Bitcoin problem*
Hum. Didn't dump all my clonecoins, but still made what could be considered a pretty penny on the ones I did.

If shitcoins pump then I can sell them later. And if not, then bitcoin is going to keep winning and clonecoins will be there as an insurance. Either way, the future is bright.

That said, something still feels off to me. If this was all that the biggest attack on bitcoin to date could do, then... well we will see what we will see.

What happened on the weekend was Wave 1.  

The BCH/BTC battle will play out over several more waves through the coming months.  

I highly doubt that. None has that much money to repeat this BTC/BCH swapping any more, now every trader is preapared and speculate on such an attack, which might be the only reason why BCH is still not below 300$.

Not to mention the technical drama around bitcoinchlasic  https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7dd43h/bch_has_a_problem_clashic_is_alive_replays/  Grin

If the transaction is valid, every node will broadcast it. The miners may not include it in a block, if there are transactions in the queue with a non-zero fee, especially while the mempool is over capacity for the next block. As soon as there is free space in the next block, zero fee transaction will get through - of course, the chance to empty the mempool below capacity is in question these days :-)

You must be an old-timer. That's the old code. The new code most nodes are running requires a 1 sat/byte fee for them to broadcast the transaction.

Oh, i must check that. Sounds reasonable; also need to upgrade my node it seems.
Thanks  Smiley

Cool. So if i read it right, txout+CTxIN below 294 satoshi will be rejected as dust.

OH CRAP, BCH IS TANKING! THERE GOES THAT!

Wait, I moved 75% of it into bitcoin at 1300. Gee thanks Bitmain for getting me off my ass to split my wallets. The other 25% can just be around to laugh at.
