The only side I take is for technology enhancement with the least compromises.

​

I like the idea of LN but it seems that it's not ready yet. What worries me is that I am reading a lot of articles in the "other camp" about how important it is for LN to have blocks that can handle the traffic. I believe that this is also written down officially by the LN team.

​

Since we can see that people are becoming enthusiastic again about Bitcoin, discussing this thing is of utmost importance. I think last time in 2017 we collectively as the community of this open source experiment failed to deliver. It was a combination of war and stubbornness from both sides while it's evidently obvious that a small increase in block sizes would solve a lot of problems including the separation of the community.

​

Since when is it taboo to speak about technology? Am I at fault if I urge people to think about making a small block size increase (contrary to the looney decrease that Luke is proposing) so that we can be confident that LN will work as intended?

​

What is the input from the LN team?

​

Btw I am a bit worried that all our hopes now are a concentrated bet on well LN will be working in the future. In a sense everybody is betting on its existence as the only way to achieve scalability.

EDIT: Thanks for having a lot of opinions and input in this thread that's what my purpose was. I TILed a lot
