      Lightning also needs scaling the base layer as well so most channels will be comprised of a dozen transactions

      security question: do you understand that most security properties are lost if users can not keep up with validation?

      Why would you make this proposal without having already seen a security analysis or done your own?

      curious how you secure unlimited sized blocks without degrading security. short of a new STARK proposal I'm not aware of it being possible.

      It is not possible. Secure replication requires secure broadcast. We desperately need computer science here not naive coding skills.

      kind of depressing being right while many just dont quite get it. more written materials probably needed on basics of why blockchains work.

      In everybody's defense, the comp sci is hard. No definitive paper on the topic has been written. It's a desperately needed work in progress.
