@digitsu IDK, you’d have to ask @TheBlueMatt about the geographic location of his FIBRE network nodes.
@Tom_Horvath Without a relay network, 7-10 sec bitcoinstats.com/network/propag…
With old relay network, 300ms bitcoinrelaynetwork.org/stats.html
@johnbiggs Sorry to hear that; good help is hard to find…

Looks like most blocks propagate through the FIBRE network in < 150ms. pic.twitter.com/KP9DC7jatV

Flare does not yet withstand adversarial network conditions or handle channel rebalancing logic as I wrote about in coindesk.com/lightning-tech…
Flare TL;DR: “a node’s network view is like fog of war, with strong visibility close by, boosted by random feeler connections farther away.”
Flare is a routing strategy that balances trade-offs between performance, scalability, & centralization. Not perfect, but great progress.
Introducing Flare: a hybrid path finding and routing strategy for @lightning Network. Kudos @roasbeef @BitFuryGroup scribd.com/document/31769…
