I'm concerned that looks a lot like a more conventional system where you have centralized payment processors. The best-connected ones are most successful, incentivizing acquisitions until there are very few of them or even a duopoly.
What discourages that?
- keymone 5y agoNo centralized processors, all channels are permissionless and lightning nodes cannot monitor or censor any traffic.
- VHRanger 5y agoRight, but decentralized permission less L2 solutions are also technically useless because they generate an unsolved Canadian Traveller Problem To which the only solution is basically opening a new channel - eg. A new L1 transaction
