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
