@Recode @desantis @verge @benpopper “The larger the block size, the more computing power is required to mine blocks” Nope, not that simple.

@Recode @desantis @verge *sigh* there are multiple development teams now but no, @benpopper, a hard fork has not (yet) occurred.

Taking the @brave browser for a spin - it gracefully sidesteps the incredibly annoying anti-adblocker wall at Forbes. 💏💏💏

@kristovatlas Never had that happen with my full indexed nodes - you could try to directly connect to a trusted peer… or open an issue.

@kristovatlas And you’re many blocks behind the tip?

@kristovatlas You saying QT is slow but bitcoind isn’t? Is CPU busy? Syncing should only be slow if you’re unlucky & connect to slow peers.

Bitcoin Core just opened door for hard forks by declaring a 2 year end of life on releases. https://t.co/6t2KhIpCGR https://t.co/9KvjhSUtQJ

@masonic_tweets What % of a company do VCs want in return for a decade of runway?

@ziggamon Thus, business models relying upon smaller txs have inherent long term risk.

@ziggamon You could argue that “settlement” txns are safest from the economic effects of scaling the system while smaller txs are riskier…

@desantis Oh, I’m in the middle of my next article. Targeting end of the month.

@masonic_tweets Could be the “Fidelity Problem” all over again - LN can enable new use cases that aren’t even viable on-chain.

If Lightning Network creates enough demand for new classes of micropayments, it could more than offset former on-chain txs that move to LN.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lopp

Lightning Network’s effect on scalability will depend on # current on-chain txs that move to LN vs new LN txs that can’t be done on-chain.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lopp

I worry Lightning Network may be a victim of its own success if it creates huge demand for on-chain transactions to open & close channels.
