jstanley makes a very good point, especially considering that Bitcoin itself is a probabilistic good-enough solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem, rather than a perfect deterministic one. But you didn't even address jstanley's question, you just repeated the exact same talking points you posted higher up in this thread, hoping that readers can't tell the difference. That is not an honest debate, but propaganda.
The constant repetition of talking points without actually addressing the critiques of those talking points may fool the gullible, but the technologically savvy see it, and it costs you your credibility with them. You guys are like Marco Rubio [1] constantly repeating the same talking points regardless what critiques are thrown your way.

- 0wing 9y agoI cited BGP. You've provided no technical details, only an ad hominem fallacy. Feel free to explain actual technical details of how LN does anything interesting, other than further centralize Bitcoin into centralized payment processor hubs? As per the LN white paper: 8.4 Payment Routing It is theoretically possible to build a route map implicitly from observing 2-of-2 multisigs on the blockchain to build a routing table. Note, however, this is not feasible with pay-to-script-hash transaction outputs, which can be resolved out-of-band from the bitcoin protocol via a third party routing service. Building a routing table will become necessary for large operators (e.g. BGP, Cjdns). Eventually, with optimizations, the network will look a lot like the correspondent banking network, or Tier-1 ISPs.
