doesn't need LN because it's use case is so tiny it's not gotta cope with more traffic, because it's irrelevant i got plenty of ideas most of them involve getting a heap of good quality anonymity tools and policies into most wallets but i can't abide this idea that lightning doesn't advance bitcoin it isn't probably the final state of the scaling solution but it's better than anything else out there right now and it models the way that banking vs payment works and it's mostly anonymous and it also bugs me that keysend and AMP are not made use of more by ... wallet developers part of the reason is that client side routing, aka source routing, is a messy problem and this is perfectly valid point to bring up, not all of this other shit you try to bring up source routing is a hard problem but the benefits of it are clear to everyone who is in bitcoin these days a lot of the cryptography we see powering the AI fad at the moment is probably close by the solutions we need to make path routed lightning, they are proximity hash systems, and that is getting very warm towards the solution if you ask me

Dynamic blocksize… Good I’m glad you have ideas for the future of bitcoin… I hope that they can make changes that help the network. We need all the scalability we can get. Whatever that solution is I hope it’s as simple & easy to use as bitcoin & not as janky as lightning is.

so now you admit you want to change the code dynamic blocksize is pure BSVism lightning uses a form of routing that never really got anywhere but the reason why we don't have better is because you can't, with current cryptography, make HTLCs that can be sent to anyone but the channel they are made for that's the reason why we have lightning and it uses source routing i don't think the cryptographic technique exists yet, or at best, it maybe has been discovered in the last few years but nobody's put the two things together it's a very instructive exercise to study the whole history of "hash functions" all this AI? hash functions elliptic curve signatures? yes, hash functions are at the centre hash functions are a way of transforming data in a way that it relates to ... or doesn't relate to the thing you are looking for AIs use a special type of hash function and a form of hamming distance calculation based on it that generates a proximity between two large blobs of data it's mindbogglingly complex, and this still doesn't give you the ability to do lightning-like state channels to modify standing UTXOs that are not yet dispatched to the mempool

it's pretty sad that you all are so busy tapping away with two fingers that you don't know that some people can touch type and not only that, they have got fancy keyboards that let them type over 100wpm it gets really irritating because you all can't be bothered reading anyway and i can type so fast and yet nobody's reading it good thing i find it useful for writing code and also, still a fluffy bunny sucker that fucker is CIA, and he must be loving his little flock of obedient followers
