BTW ā for anyone who thinks Iām shitting on Lightning tonight, Iām not. I love the technology. I use it every day. I run a node. I try every wallet I can get my hands on. I test them relentlessly. I attempt to break things. Because I know that true global adoption will not happen until a partially blind grandmother living in the Himalayas using a decade-old phone with a busted screen can zap her grandkids some sats on their birthdays.
Discussion
Global adoption is less about non-tech savvy people having a good UX and more about militaries and governments stockpiling bitcoin.
As soon as they realize bitcoin is the key to achieving systemic and unhackable security of literally any computer network, were gonna see the god-candle of all god-candles and its game on.
Sounds like you support "Softwar"'s thesis here.
Do you mind explaining how exactly Bitcoin if supposed to secure other computer networks?
I never really got that... And somehow Lowery didn't explain any details on that in the two interviews I've watched.
In section 5.8 of his thesis he proposes what he calls an electro-cyber dome security system. He describes it as a firewall-style API that requires all control actions to be tied to reusable proofs-of-work. Here's the PDF and you can read that section in detail.
