What I still don't understand is, if there's supposed to be a fee market to support miners once the block reward ends, this means there must be high on chain fees right? That means that it will be expensive opening channels?
It can happen for all of you for 6 months before I join the party. Hopefully any fund losing bugs will be found by then.
So the BitcoinNewsAndUpdates twitter account (a bcash shill) tweeted an article from "Bitcoin Enquirer" that claimed LN will never be a working solution. It was in Jan. I tweeted back at them with the current status and mainnet beta launch news... They blocked me. We are doing all the right things people.
If you already have a full Bitcoin node, I cannot recommend enough following the installation and tutorials here: http://dev.lightning.community/guides/installation/
If you have managed to set up a full node I'd rate this at the same difficulty level.
Learning by doing is always the best imo.
According to this explorer, we're up to 1400+ nodes: https://explorer.acinq.co/#/
All these explorers are not 100% reliable, they mostly depict the network from the point of view of one, single node, which not always sees everything.
Imagine you are in a room full of people. From your perspective, there will be people hidden behind others, so you won't have the "bird's eye" view on the whole room.
here are more explorers listed, some of them with really cool visuals: https://gist.github.com/bretton/798ec38165ffabc719d91e0f4f67552d
Depending on which explorer you look at, there seem to be around 900-1100 public nodes (+ some more "private" nodes)
anyone else has a link for Lightning nodes statistics? i had one page bookmarked (http://lnstat.ideoflux.com:3000/dashboard/db/lightning-network?refresh=5m&orgId=1), but it went down =/
Newb question: If one of those nodes fails that is connected to so many from afar, the network simply finds the next closest connection and continues as if nothing happened?
This is the coolest motherfucking thing I've ever seen. Is this motherfucking lightning network on motherfucking Bitcoin?!?! And we got a motherfucking 3d graphical view of it with motherfucking usernames of motherfucking people voluntarily taking part in a motherfucking second layer decentralized financial network on top of THE motherfucking decentralized financial network? Dooooooods.....
All the unconnected nodes must not have passed the aml/kyc reauirements /s
Can you please make a distinction between active nodes and nodes that are no longer signalling? It seems most explorers show every node that has ever been on the LN so the number of nodes can never decrease.
Looks nice, but why does it show different stats than https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/ ?
I think it would be nice if the size of the circles depended on the number of connections a node has.
