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

        @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 HN really wants you to stop doing that. You don’t have to, but then, don’t complain about mods.

        @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.
