Lightning on Stellar? I don't understand why this is desirable.
- sjs382 9y agoI think it's a matter of quickly setting up and closing an off-chain ledger, rather than supporting more transactions or keeping transaction costs low. Privacy could be a reason to do this, but I'm sure there are other reasons, too.
- jlrubin 9y agoHigh volume, low latency, of privacy focused applications. There's a difference between Stellar's network being able to support high throughput and you wanting to do high-throughput on the network. Base fee is 1e-5 XLM. If you want to do a million transactions, it's still going to cost you 10 lumens. Why pay 10 XLM when you could pay 1e-5 XLM instead?
