@NickatFP @pmarca We’ll finally be able to build a meshnet for Internet access - we just have to hold hands.
Imagine how much we could reduce taxes & simplify tax code if we stopped spending so many resources on “defense.” https://t.co/66XckVxFl9
@Vindicia @CathyReisenwitz @hoffmang If only there was someone @brave enough to build a revolutionary micropayments solution…
@pmarca Huge if true.
@victoriavaneyk @M_Marsollier There’s also a large opportunity in the noncompliance sector O:-)
@dEnergy_dTime That’s a substantially different attack vector but no, it doesn’t if the bitcoin user has backed up their wallet.
Bitcoin users unaffected. https://t.co/nG1yuzb8Ew

@martindale @masonic_tweets There are security considerations and you still have “on-chain” scaling issues; @jgarzik seems keen on it though
@masonic_tweets @ajtowns has good LN simulations & I hear @jratcliff is also working on some. I’d ask @Blockstream about sidechains.
On the other hand, if atomic cross-chain swaps via Lightning Network become a reality, all bets are off regarding scalability :-)
Thus, an important scaling question is: in which system will users hold their money the longest before transferring back to bitcoin?
There are pros & cons to scaling Bitcoin via Lightning Network or via sidechains. But both share a bottleneck: on-chain transactions.

@mikestable To be fair, I had that happen once and it was a neighbor fleeing a domestic violence situation…
