i don't think #lightningnetwork is the final destination for L2s

i haven't looked deeply into Ark but my first impression is kinda favourable

i think that the problem we face is how to do trustless relaying of messages across the network that don't involve falsified UTXOs and can fall back to alternative routes when a planned route fails

it's a cryptography problem, and i'm almost certain there is already a specialised hash function that exactly does what we need, just nobody has figured out that it can do this

you also rage against the AI, i hate that shit, and you know it operates by a specialised hash function right? the AI hash is called a "proximity hash" and it allows you to plot multiple paths through a graph that generate a valid structure that humans recognise (they are like human memories, in fact)

something very close to this will enable us to do trustless path routing and the days of stuck payments will be over, just like QUIC and other new reliable transports have ended (most of) the connection reset by peer problems
