More disincentives to running large LN hubs: if you match channel funds, it’s a DoS attack vector. If you don’t, you can’t route payments.

@martindale @masonic_tweets There are security considerations and you still have “on-chain” scaling issues; @jgarzik seems keen on it though
@masonic_tweets @ajtowns has good LN simulations & I hear @jratcliff is also working on some. I’d ask @Blockstream about sidechains.
On the other hand, if atomic cross-chain swaps via Lightning Network become a reality, all bets are off regarding scalability :-)
Thus, an important scaling question is: in which system will users hold their money the longest before transferring back to bitcoin?
There are pros & cons to scaling Bitcoin via Lightning Network or via sidechains. But both share a bottleneck: on-chain transactions.

8) My request to Bitcoin enthusiasts discussing proposals to improve the system is that you first ask yourself: “What would Hal do?”
7) I mention all of this today because I’m observing more Bitcoin community members acting like the first respondents to Satoshi.
6) Years later, Hal reflected back upon the early days of Bitcoin: https://t.co/LNii00Til6
5) Hal went on to become the second miner after Satoshi, received the first bitcoin transaction, & reported several bugs that Satoshi fixed.
4) Eventually, along comes Hal Finney, who takes an optimistic view. https://t.co/7h4y3k4TIs https://t.co/mtaFJof5EN

A common Lightning Network misconception is that fewer routing hops == lower fees. This ignores liquidity issues that will affect fees.
