I wonder if they understand muilticast... A part of the issue is that all nodes end with knowledge of a TX, and unicast means that this is many many hops.

according to
@realLudvigArt, author of that#LightningNetwork article, multicast turns Bitcoin into a “server-client model”. thus it will not scale like the internet which uses TCP/IP. why is this comparison incorrect in your view?3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Settlement of
#bitcoin transactions (included in a mined block) on the#blockchain is more synonymous with broadcast data transmission than multicast. If@ProfFaustus actually read the article, he would have seen that I connected it to broadcast transmissions and not multicast.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

No, you keep thinking in nterms of a mesh such as the Internet. Bitcoin is a near complete small world. Apples and Cats... not even close

and here we go again with that “Bitcoin is not a mesh” thing. it would really be helpful if there’s a paper or technical article that explains this in simple language and diagrams! Twitter doesn’t cut it
