@bascule @Hyperledger I assume you meant transaction speed? Hardly comparable though. Lightning network / impulse.is can solve that

@ParsnipComander
@Hyperledger if you actually read my post you may have seen I mentioned Lightning Network -
@bascule @ParsnipComander@Hyperledger "such as the Lightning Network, are working on decentralizing the blockchain" Does not compute... -
@taoeffect @ParsnipComander@Hyperledger how would you describe the Lightning Network? -
@bascule@taoeffect@Hyperledger near zero trust, high speed txn payment channels over bitcoin. Minimal touching of blockchain? -
@ParsnipComander
@taoeffect "Minimal touching of the blockchain" was the point I was trying to make. The blockchain doesn't scale

@bascule It was flagged by users off the site. You can mail hn@ycombinator.com for override. -
@tqbf haha, wow -
@bascule People don’t like your title, which you knew was bait-y, which is why you used it. -
@tqbf I follow the BuzzFeed model of headline writing -
@bascule HN really wants you to stop doing that. You don’t have to, but then, don’t complain about mods. -
@tqbf first time this has happened… but also the first time I’ve poked the Bitcoin bear in long-form prose -
@bascule I think the article itself does fine with HN bitcoin factionality; it’s pretty reasonable.

@bascule@Hyperledger "...consensus and process transactions at a rate comparable with [cc txns]" CC consensus is SUPER SLOW. -
@ParsnipComander
@Hyperledger getting an auth should take 10 seconds at most, even with EMV and especially with NFC
