my lightning node works great
Your very post (rude, inaccurate, yet overconfident) is further proof of this fact! At this rate LN will kill BTC sooner than I had thought.
...and you concluded that forking Bitcoin was a fix to that (non-)problem?
If BTC is indeed being killed off by LN, then what should we do instead?
how would it be "killed off"?
I understand not working, not scaling, wrong scaling etc, etc. But that does nothing for the mainchain, which still works impeccable. What's the deal?
LN destroys Bitcoin's layer zero -- its people.
LN is getting most of the dev attention and is the current answer to world adoption
its equivalent to a parasitical mimic, siphoning off scarce resources to put a few developers kids through college at the long term expense of bitcoin itself,
risking being replaced by something better and more advanced, and more convenient
ok, so it's killing Bitcoin in an opportunity cost sense? What could have/would have been, yes?
Well obviously Lightning sucks and is unusable but it'll kill Bitcoin because too many people use it.
Scoresby, bless his heart, has a morbid curiosity about scam fake L2's
Lightning, is literally just reusable chain transactions, nothing more or less.
Quick skim of that video shows a strawman of what you want it to be, and of course, when people want the impossible only scammers will satisfy.
Convenient I wasn't there for the debate at the end.
Scoresby sent me a very polite (public) request on Twitter, to do this AMA. That is why I am doing it.
It certainly isn't an endorsement of Lightning. Lightning is a dead end. I have demonstrated this to an utterly overwhelming degree -- especially here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhJoJPf76Pw .
In fact, it's much worse: Lightning is a cancer, rapidly metastasizing and killing off BTC. Lightning spreads to unrelated parts of Bitcoin, and destroys those as well.
