I believe that franky1 somehow feels benefited from trying to make others avoid the lightning network. I'm still not convinced from his counter-arguments against the lightning fans in here. I have to state, though, that he sometimes brings in reasonable issues to the discussion.
What I do observe is that he can't formulate them properly, as a result to make no sense and create thousands of meaningless posts repeatedly. That's why he may be hated; because of unjustified quarrel.
i understand lightning fully, more than most of these expert-fans
but over the years. it becomes a social drama PR rampage by the fans..
whereby i use one buzzword, they jump straight to knit pick that i did not use the other buzzword of the month. all done to distract/ignore/avoid the point of the context.
claiming they can ignore the whole context because i must not know because i didnt use their buzzword of the month(facepalm)
they get so wrapped up and ramped up on trying to find the most minimal grammatical issue to scream about and dismiss the whole context. that i just end up avoiding the buzzword drama and instead ELI-5 using common real world analogies.(laymans)
then they think my layman versions are to be ignored because of lack of buzzwords.
round circle arguments to avoid the context (social drama and very boring)
its funny because
they avoid discussions about funds arnt claimable until they have "secret" of hash160(secret)
they avoid discussions of the inner HTLC messages and invoice.
they avoid discussions about the many ways to break the route midflow. (even LN devs have lost funds)
they avoid discussions of capping out max limit of routes to save entire channel balance depletion
they avoid discussions of the payment success rate
yea a $3 coffee might be 99% success
but what about buying 3 coffees because most people dont drink alone
coupe years ago LN had a dismal 10% payment succesrate with 'folds lightningpizza'
(1500 attempts only 10% success)
and that just for pizza.. not a lambo
but hey i get used to the fan base of drama queens with your overpromises and utopian dreams
oh and if you look at the stats properly.
if you take out the elitist hubs. and just look at the average joe channels. the capacity is not there to have 99% $100-$500
but yea if we then redefine LN as a custodial only manager of ElThree micropayment channels they dont broadcast. then yea custodians can guarantee it.. but without users independance and freedom
just imagine wanting to buy pizza. and out of 10 people only one getting their payment to complete..
... id call that a failed payment system
if bitcoin had that issue in 2009 or 2011. it would never have moved forward
imagine lazlos 2010 pizza demo. imagine if he said he tried 10 times and got nothing.
