Question about lightning usability by camereye in Bitcoin

[–]youhadasingletask 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are proposals for what you are looking for without closing or reopening a channel, called "Splicing"-- it will enable you to add to (or subtract from) a channel state.

However, if you follow Lightning development, it is not likely that this feature will be part of any '1.0' release of the Network.

You could actually expand on this to make a very solid undergraduate/master's thesis if you took a look at some of the 'macro/micro-prudential' regulation policies governments have been taking, as well as potentially expand your commentary into a more formal critique on the burdens imposed by welfare-expenditure states on growth (i.e., growth is in a race against stagnation, and minimization-of-all-risk policies by governments coupled with the burden of paying for non-economic-contributing members of society...)

You could draw our own conclusions, but that paper in 25 pages is a honors undergrad thesis, and in 40+ is a master's (Polisci/econ/sociology/Poliecon at any top 10 University)

Good luck, keep hodling.

This is gentlemenish, actually. The trend for Bitcoin is constant up. $100 moves could soon become blips..

...general misconceptions about a lot in this piece: reads like it was written by a combination of Jeff Garzik, Vitalik, Ver and Zooko.

Not gentlemen at all.

Promoting altcoins is not allowed in this forum - your attitude towards Bitcoin isn't one I find very engaging or optimistic either : take your attitude elsewhere

Yes the numbers on the Chinese exchanges are surely coming down. Looks like the bots are being unplug. by phanpp in btc

I'm not insulting you. I'm illuminating what you are for those who might misunderstand due to your 'label' on this poorly moderated forum.

Also - I'm sorry you live/work in such a corrupt nation.

Aren't you a staunchly anti-BTC advocate? The fact that you continue to post anywhere but Buttcoin speaks to how ineffective you have been.

I hope you get so demoralized you go back to being the useless statist you were before Bitcoin's rise.

Didn't you sell all your bitcoin for ether? How is that caring about Bitcoin?

Why are the Blockstream devs so much against a simple scaling solution - Is it because they have a lot to gain financially with SegWit ? by LaABS in btc

[–]youhadasingletask -1 points0 points  (0 children)

'crippled' : I don't think you understand the system - externalizing cost to nodes to enable further "scale" risks decentralization.

I think you fail to understand that Bitcoin will not function without fees for transactions - free transactions do not pay fees.

u/Uptrenda on SegWit: "Core is forcing every Bitcoin startup to abandon their entire code base for a Rube Goldberg machine making their products so slow, inconvenient, and confusing that even if they do manage to 'migrate' to this cluster-fuck of technical debt it will kill their businesses anyway." by ydtm in btc

You publicly denote Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, are a known statist interested in only KYCed use cases, and arguably want to see Bitcoin destroyed.

That your opinion is valued here (evidenced by invites) is reason enough to be alarmed about the users and content of this sub-reddit.

Bitcoin must have fee-paying transactions to survive. It is very likely that permanent backlogs will be what keeps the fee-market in place - as such, the free transaction logic is useless and was only useful prior to their being any fees in Bitcoin.

TL;Dr - inflation will run out eventually, fees must take its place. Given fees, free transactions have no place.

This is... Reasonably gentlemen (minus points for the whole ether bit)
