I te słowa pana Pierre-Marie Padiou, CEO of ACINQ:„There aren't many steps left before bitcoin's Lightning Network will be finished - or at least an early version of it.”
SegWit (tfu tfu) miał miejsce 24 sierpień 2017.„The only blocker for a live Lightning implementation is SegWit. It’s not sure how or when it will activate, but if SegWit does activate, there is no technical thing that would prevent Lightning from working.”

Przy okazji, wspominają o problemie Routingu, który już tutaj był dyskutowany.
Po nitce do kolejnego starego artykułu https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-lightn ... n-scaling/One problem is with the routing - the way of finding a path through the network to whoever you want to make a payment to.
…
Blockchain.info Lightning engineer Mats Jerratsch thinks that this will be the major challenge before the technology sees "widespread use".
…
There are still some developers who want to sober up the enthusiasm by pointing out that no one knows exactly how Lightning will work.
…
While a supporter of the Lightning concept, Open Bazaar lead backend developer Chris Pacia has been skeptical of all the promises made of its capabilities. Almost a year ago, he wrote a blog post out of "frustration" that the network was described as the end-all solution to bitcoin scaling at the expense of other ideas.
He argues that there are still many unknowns, such as the routing functionality, like Padiou pointed out.
Noting that he ran some python simulations of his own, he said that it might be hard to find a route through the network once users are making a transaction of a certain value, because every hop along the route will need to support that value.
…
That said, he's not over concerned that developers won't work out the future kinks."They have enough brainpower behind it that I think they can work out all the problems that they have. But the issue of routing ... We're going to need more experience with it before we can tell how well it really works" he said, agreeing with Poon.
I co czytam:
Trochę to mi przypomina:"The group also discussed specifications for a basic routing protocol for how payments will ultimately hop across the network, and several other implementation details."
"Przywódcy świata spotkali się na szczycie i przedyskutowali problem głodu i pokoju na świecie".
Wiem, że stare artykuły, ale rozwiązanie problemu routingu wciąż chyba nawet teoretycznie nie jest przedstawiony, mimo iż powagę i poziom skomplikowania tej kwestii znali już w 2015r.
