RE: Checking Out Bitcoin’s Lightning Network
gdubs, i am interested in how this aligns with the white paper and satoshis vision, do "Bcashers" have a footing on this? isnt the point of bitcoin to have every transaction on the blockchain?
Every transaction does end up on the blockchain, but only when the channel closes. That allows for all the small tx to go thru the payment channels making BTC a lot more scalable. It's hard to say how Satoshi would feel about it, only he/she/it knows! The problem with bigger blocks is that it's a linear solution to an exponential problem.
