A Look At the Lightning Network

Examining the scaling method of the Bitcoin network and its evolution from a store of value to a medium of exchange.

First time I had seen this was in her lightning network article. I still see this as one of the best arguments against block size change. Granted, I wasn't really around for block size wars, but when it comes up now, I have never seen others making that point as a case for Bitcoin. I'm surprised I don't see many re-iterate this point at all. It seems like a linchpin in Bitcoin's Lyn keeps shouting the important stuff until people catch on.

Except this doesn't apply to mining as well, where it's getting less and less feasible to run your own hardware.

We might run a node on our mobile devices. Should be easily possible today. Will cost near nothing in the future.
