Will it ever happen?

Nope. Blockstream is a Jewish failure, like all things Jews do.
Elijah King
No

Please explain to a brainlet what is looking at?
I get the hate, but at the end of the day, if they can make it work, and we have this decentralized blockchain, with some centralized crap on top of it to make it practical for every day use, the market would skyrocket.
Jonathan Howard
that's the current stats for the ln mainnet
you can start your own node right now if you wanted
you can also just download an app like eclair on an android phone and mess with it on the testnet or mainnet.
the phone apps are for outgoing payments only though currently.
also its only in beta and pic related

Why would you run LN when you could just use blockchain transactions?
Henry Carter
Ah I see, thanks for explaining. What's your sentiment on LN?
Well, it is one of the solutions to the scaling problem as far as I understand. And different solutions (like increasing blocksize) have different advantages.
The biggest problem I have with increasing block sizes is that BCH is spearheaded by a bunch of emotional man-children.
Jeremiah Cooper
bch's proposition for bigger blocksizes is a pretty crass solution. Current btc proposes that we make btc modular and comprised of different layers. Each layers will provide different functionalities and compromises. LN network may be centralized by design, but the base layer (btc) will always be a reliable, decentralized store of value.
When there are traffic jams you don't just widen the roads to solve the issue, you create high speed rails and more efficient public transport system

It already happened. You're just not correctly identifying the purpose of the apparatus. You're like a mouse holding out hope the cheese vending machine will soon be complete, but all along it was just a mouse trap. It works fine. You're just not the customer.
You're the product.
