It basically will allow you to splice liquidity in and out of channels on the fly without having to close them. https://youtu.be/WxNlQflXhKo

Tasty!

sounds like another excuse to keep on-chain stuff off-chain, meaning lower fees for me (i mine a lot)

More importantly, is it going to help scale bitcoin?

It’s going to help make LN more efficient so yes!

I agree. Scaling is most important. Fees will work themselves out if adoption increases.

If bitcoin goes to $10M, the current ~.15 fee subsidy per block is significantly higher than the current 6.25 reward + .15 fee subsidy at $25k.

$1.5M vs $160k.

Yup, you get it.
