with so many chipping away at the dirt on this one eventually someone's gonna turn up a solution...

LN goes very far but fails due to its high liveness dependency and its rigidity...

i feel it in my bones, there's a cryptographic primitive already out there, or two, that when applied correctly, provides a mechanism that we seek...

my gut feeling is that it's going to give us async state channels and anonymity relaying in one fell swoop

LN's security depends heavily on its client side generated onions but there is probably a way to do this without depending on specific nodes but instead some other mechanism...

Just add layers like lightning or Fedi, only joking or mmmm.

Ofc. While the elefant in the room isn't dealt with. Put a capped blocksize adjustment increase to at least let L2s scale and let more ppl save onchain.
