Even with the hub-spokes model, it won't work since every transaction has the power to invalidate multiple routes.

The white paper is a joke.

People are just handwaving this away like it's a side thought, while touting the solution this gives as THE gift to mankind to get away from traditional banks.

Another cryptocurrency 'innovation' delivering overly complex solutions to problems that didn't exist and ignoring the real problems.




Maybe routes won't get invalidated if hub-to-hub credit is 100x larger than any single transaction.


So... You have to trust these edges/connections? Who will enforce this? How would you know the largest transaction that has occured somewhere else in the network?... trustlessly? Why 100x?


> why 100x?

Why not over 9000x?

Thanks for sharing that video above!
