Xmr doesn’t need LN plain & simple.

Ln is currently active on LTC & was before btc.

I am aware of all the issues & again we knew about this before implementing it.

But it got implemented & here we are now so what are we gonna do about it?

Got any good ideas?

I’m not trying to inflict anything.

doesn't need LN because it's use case is so tiny it's not gotta cope with more traffic, because it's irrelevant

i got plenty of ideas

most of them involve getting a heap of good quality anonymity tools and policies into most wallets

but i can't abide this idea that lightning doesn't advance bitcoin

it isn't probably the final state of the scaling solution but it's better than anything else out there right now and it models the way that banking vs payment works

and it's mostly anonymous

and it also bugs me that keysend and AMP are not made use of more by ... wallet developers

part of the reason is that client side routing, aka source routing, is a messy problem and this is perfectly valid point to bring up, not all of this other shit you try to bring up

source routing is a hard problem but the benefits of it are clear to everyone who is in bitcoin these days

a lot of the cryptography we see powering the AI fad at the moment is probably close by the solutions we need to make path routed lightning, they are proximity hash systems, and that is getting very warm towards the solution if you ask me

Dynamic blocksize…

Good I’m glad you have ideas for the future of bitcoin… I hope that they can make changes that help the network.

We need all the scalability we can get.

Whatever that solution is I hope it’s as simple & easy to use as bitcoin & not as janky as lightning is.

i used to be mostly indifferent, a little positive towards #monero until i encountered the fanatics here on #nostr

it is something i was dimly aware of from the old days and the many flame wars and psychotic mumblings of the fluffybunny worshipers but when i saw how psychotic they were on this protocol... and how rabid they are on the darkweb... and that's how i came to bitcoin, so i know what goes on there

hard fact for #monero users to cope with is that almost nobody has got arrested based on chain analysis on bitcoin

aww, i wonder why?

maybe pseudonymity is enough when you add some mixers and a bit of patience?
