>but the crux of your argument is that channels will be constantly opening and closing
that's just half the problem, the real issue is that the balance of the channels will be constantly changing.

so when you calculated the path it was fine but once the tx actually reaches it there won't be enough BTC to transact in the desired direction and your payment fails

the only way to solve this problem is with exceptionally huge nodes. it will cause a backbone of the network, in other words trusted centralized nodes will be needed

better than core people that don't understand facts when presented right in front of them. implementing SegWit and building Lightning Network is an awfully complex way of scaling compared to changing 1 line of code (bigger blocks). due to stubbornness BTC have lost not only adoption but a bunch of talented developers and dedicated supporters

jikes why did this thread take off
