I said almost exactly the same thing to Elizabeth Stark earlier today. The whitepaper for lightning was written years ago so ricks huffing and puffing about lack of detail on routing isn't the question, the relevant question is what is current state of the research.
-
It's a lot easier to make up imaginary problems than to build real technology and solve real problems.

-
Seriously.

just finished listening to the latest LTB episode on
#Lightning. good to know that there are lots of developers excited to push it forward. the comparison with Ethereum dev community is apt. let’s just hope Lightning goes beyond ICOs and Cryptokitties
bring on layer 3

Rick's argument is built on the assertion that LN is being sold as a payment routing engine & that it's key innovation is path discovery. Then he spouts his knowledge of internet routing, tries to paste THAT onto LN routing, saying it's stupid & calling LN devs idiots.

-
It strikes me that Falkevinge is used to fighting an idealogical war against the establishment, and is doing here what he did with the pirate party - pointing out the problems with the status quo hyperbolicly. Unfortunately, it doesn't map so well in bitcoin as government
-
Good point. It unfortunately is fooling a lot of noobs. I met a bright developer this week lthat took his video as gospel and thought LN was DOA. Shipping code is most important, but I wish we had a 'Consensys' type of entity to propagate good info and attract more devs.
