RE: Understanding Lightning in Simple Terms and What It Means for YOU + GET 100SP delegated to you!
From very near the top of the post in bold:
"Keep in mind, this is currently for testnet BTC ONLY right now. "
Yeah, OK.
Are you just shilling for Blockstream or do you actually believe this theoretical lightning that only is approved for use on testnet has solved Bitcoin scaling?
LN is in mainet: https://medium.com/@dougvk/run-your-own-mainnet-lightning-node-2d2eab628a8b
It comes with a lot of disclaimers, e.g. "don't use it or you're at risk of losing your funds."
Listen to Rick Falkvinge. He explains some of the potential problems with LN.
I know the problem however LN is now in mainnet and has been successful, it basically beta mainnet and based on current progress it will fully launch on April-June
