lightning's great difficulty is the basis in source routing, and i can't think of a way around that and i've thought a lot about it

and on top of that, there is this mentality among bitcoiners that privacy is very important, so the protocol doesn't include adequate advertising of channel state

i think that the thing that will tip LN over to big times is going to be when people realise the LN node should be advertising channel state, and i'm gonna strand by that position until someone gives me a good reason why not

there simply is no way to do path routing on bitcoin state, there is a for real anathema between the two things, bitcoin transactions and path routing
