BlockStream's Lightning Network and their nodes/hubs will result in people needing permission before transactions are relayed. The powers that be will say it's to prevent "terrorism". No more censorship resistance, and no more permissionlessness, because all nodes/hubs will require KYC & AML by law. Failure to do so will result in prison time, penalties, etc.

Nope, didn't read the article. You're extremely docile, gullible, lack critical thinking skills and underestimate the powers that be. You really think Blockstream (which is a COMPANY by the way) will give people total and ultimate freedom in their Lightning Network of theirs? Ross Ulbricht was convicted to life in prison because he, supposedly, put out a hit on someone. The officers in charge of his case were found to be criminals themselves, and are in jail. But when people protested Ross's conviction, they were told they are conspiracy theory tinfoil hat nut jobs. You need to get out of the "Matrix" buddy....

The Blockstream website states, in plain English, that the Lightning Network is their thing. I quote: "The Lightning Network is a micropayments protocol that enables instant, low-cost Bitcoin transactions. Blockstream is a major contributor to this exciting technology alongside other industry leaders and independent developers." Lightning Labs might be developing the Lightning Network, but it doesn't mean Blockstream will not benefit in any way. I brought up Ross because of your knee jerk reaction to classify uncomfortable truths as conspiracy theories. You obviously haven't read "Creature from Jekyll Island", especially the part about how banks hijacked the US money creation system by deceiving the public. If you did, you wouldn't be this naive.

It's messing our commerce badly." America: \*whistles innocently\* China: \*sends a thruster drone to crash Blockstream sats into atmosphere\* America: "...eh, whatever. Not worth starting a war with China over that crypto crap." -------------- China: "Hey America, why are you polluting our economy with unstoppable Bitcoin?" America: "We'll give you tools to track everyone's transactions and balances, even mixers won't help them. Bitcoin is our perfect anti-privacy device for controlling the masses. Everybody wins." China: "Cool. Now we have even more control!" -------------- China: "Why won't you stop this Bitcoin satellites? People are using Bitcoin to circumvent our central bank." America: "Err, we tried to stop it, but you can't stop freedom." \*chuckles\* "What a bunch of losers." China: "Okay. Challenge accepted."

I'm fairly unbiased between BTC and bch and I can see this as a good step toward further decentralization. I'm also a satellite engineer so I understand how expensive sat bandwidth is. This likely explains the logic of keeping blocks small.

CuriousTitmouse 10 hs ago

Can you explain how millions of people do a few transactions a day with lightning? Wouldn't the on chain transactions to open a channel back up the network like this time last year? I understand that once you have the channel open it's basically free. How do we get from now to millions of people with 10s or 100s of channels each? This is the biggest issue with LN. There's not enough room in 1mb blocks for massive scaling, even with lightning.

0

bitusher 49 mins ago

>There's not enough room in 1mb blocks for massive scaling I cannot take your question seriously because you are repeating the lie that Bitcoin as a 1 MB limit . Bitcoin got rid of this limit over 1 year ago and now has a 4 million weight limit per block or 4MB of weight

1

tally-hoho redditor for 4 days 6 hs ago

It’s not the biggest issue, the biggest issue is paying tax on the BTC you’re spending, it kinda makes LN ineffective. 1 coffee cost 1 dollar with fiat 1 coffee costs 1 dollar plus any property tax that’s due, plus you have to keep a record of all purchases for the tax, on LN.

gasfjhagskd Yesterday

Yet no one is doing it. Wonder why... No one wants off-chain scaling for a coin that can already accommodate demand with on-chain scaling. Give me 32MB blocks before Lightning, please. I live in 2018, not 1998.

0

AdeptOrganization redditor for 3 months 7 hs ago

You can have your 32mb on a altcoin that supports it. In the mean time my node has to store every single transaction. Ever. I already use too much bandwidth and CPU and storage being part of this horrendously inefficient distributed database, which only got worse with segwit. This stupid Blockchain is now larger than my media collection. And it grows. All the fucking time. Every 10 god damn minutes. I'm tired of storing yours and everyone else's transactions, but that's the price of financial freedom so I'll pay it. If I needed to store 32mb every ten minutes, I would literally have to build a new pc and go into "blocks only" mode to keep within some sane bandwidth usage. Yeah, no, fuck that noise.

gasfjhagskd 11 hs ago

It's a matter of branding. People don't use BCH/SV because it's not BTC. BTC is currently unusable for any meaningful amount of commerce and there is no sign it ever will be because the devs and users who support them are idiots. Lightning is never going to succeed. Another coin will likely succeed first if Lightning is what people are waiting for.

>Lightning is never going to succeed We heard this all when LN capacity was under 3 BTC. Today we are nearly at 500 BTC and it's just getting off the ground. You can now make bitcoin LN transactions straight from your phone and internet browser, just as fast or faster than any fiat card transaction and with fees around a few hundredths of a cent, all built on top of a decentralised blockchain which is small enough to be verified on a cheap laptop or even a raspberry pi.

ExtraIncrease redditor for 3 months Yesterday

Increasing the block size is literally a 2 second fix... Designing and implementing lightning is an ongoing process, and has been in the works for a year or more (can't remember exact date proposed & presented). I want the more complex systems developed first, since they'll take a long time to implement and spread. The simple fixes can be done later, when they're more necessary.

2

Explodicle 8 hs ago

Jeff "Segwit2x" Garzik thought it was a quick fix too!

2

ExtraIncrease redditor for 3 months 5 hs ago

I'll be honest, I'm not sure why we didn't end up with the segwit2x compromise. In my opinion, it would have been more productive to realize a chain split was going to occur and reach a compromise. "Hey, we'll double the block size for now, but let's work on more long term stuff that doesn't just involve editing an integer in the code, yes?" As long as that could be agreed to (to be honest, I wasn't following that closely), then I felt it was a fair compromise. I don't have the whole story, so I'm sure there's things on both sides that is missing, but I think the fork ultimately hurt Bitcoin more than a bit of a compromise from both sides. Blocks eventually need to increase in size... But we also need to keep everything as efficient as possible... I don't see why a little give & take wouldn't hurt... That said, it's quite possible the "easy way out" of just increasing the block size would have been pushed repeatedly until a fork occurred anyway, which could have taken pressure off optimization. Who knows... I'm just along for the ride.

gasfjhagskd Yesterday

So you're fine with the fact that fees exploded in the last year and the network got panned by the entire media that Bitcoin was slow and unusable rather than just the simple fix to accommodate people? Not doing that simple fix made hundreds of millions of people think Bitcoin won't work.

0

ExtraIncrease redditor for 3 months 5 hs ago

Yes, it's the unfortunate side effect of not taking the quick fix rout, but that happens, and was expected to happen. The fact that millions got turned off of Bitcoin is perfect, because that pushed out the mass adoption timeline. Bitcoin is very much in its infancy, and I'm not eager to have everyone using Bitcoin at the moment... In 20 years? Sure, but not last year, not now and probably not for the next several years. I really would prefer to crypto space to mature a bit more, have more regulation in place so that when mass adoption comes, it'll be confident and seamless. Right now, Bitcoin can't scale. But it doesn't need to immediately, so long as scaling it's not ignored. There's a lot of cool tech coming into Bitcoin and crypto as a whole, and I'd love for that to get established before everyone floods the network. Until then, we will see more times of congestion and times of empty mempools. As long as we aren't getting sustained flooding (which last year wasn't by any stretch of the imagination), I don't see the quick fix being the one needing to be implemented. I don't think in weeks and months... I've got my focus on the long game, 5-10 years at a time. Who knows what'll happen during that time, but in my opinion, taking the quick fix creates complacency such that the complicated fix doesn't ever get done. If you've increased the block size once or twice already, why develop the Lightning network when you can just increase the block size again? That's just my opinion. May not be the popular one, and I doubt you'll agree, but that's okay. The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is we don't have to agree.

in the poles, geostationary satellites are in the horizon and thus not accessible. It would probably need not just a different satellite but a different kind of satellite, like those in low earth orbits

you know you can't have geostationary satellites at the poles right? The satellite' s orbital speed just matches the rotational speed of the planet. unless you it's a helium stratosphere balloon.

1

sQtWLgK 4 hs ago

Read again? You are saying the same as me. Geostationary orbits are coplanar with the equator, thus when you are on the pole you see them right on the horizon (at zero altitude, to be pedantic, but you would need to climb too high to make any practical difference); that is what I said. You may have better chances in the most meridional areas of Antarctica though.

1

coinsmash1 redditor for 5 weeks Yesterday

In the upcoming space race (between states, corporations and private individuals), will there be an opportunity to find a partner who could develop and launch such a dedicated craft? Not just for Antarctica coverage but to ‘roam’ between other 3rd party satellites (where bandwidth is leased) One day I hope to see the lightning network, travel in the same path of its namesake..

i love this project. couldn't resist to donated 5$ through the btcpay btc+lightning option. thought it would fail due to routing errors but it went through in blink of a second. i hope someday this experience will be the standard when using bitcoin+lightning.

What is this for? Helping the not so bitcoin savey people to accept payments?

It's actually not just a way for newbies. There are probably easier custodial ways for newbies to accept payments. What BTCPay does, is it frees newbies, by getting rid of a third party. You're your own payment processor. You control customers data (PayPal leaks data to 600 companies) there are no processing fees (you wouldn't charge fees to yourself would you?), you're running a full Bitcoin node and on top of that getting bunch of innovative features. This is just a rant. For more refer to [BTCPay extensive documentation](http://docs.btcpayserver.org/) Hope that helps. I think the website covers the basics well? No?

I didn't read it I do it on my own. I don't need this service. I am not bashing it though. Some people need the help. I don't know what it is. That's why I asked. Not sure why the downvote.

Looks a bit sloppy at this end. Think the front end still needs a bit of work

Your contributions are appreciated.

[It's on GitHub](https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver.github.io). Feel free to open a pull request and help with improving it if you're a developer. Saying it's sloppy is quite unspecific and not really helpful feedback.

Wasn't trying to be rude. Just a lot of layout / rendering issues at this end. Will consider making a pull request if i have time.

Cool, I don't think it was rude at all just had to be more specific.

Hi, I wanted to make a donation of 1 $. When you aks a LN invoice for 1$ you get a 2$ invoice. Maybe a bug, I am using Opera browser. I finally made 2$ donation.

CardCollector1 Yesterday

This is now fixed, thanks again.

CardCollector1 Yesterday

Nice catch, I was able to replicate it, only happens with 1$, thanks a lot, will open an issue on GitHub for this. Edit: it happens with few more values, will tell someone in the community to look into it, thanks again.
