Title: How will cross-chain transactions work when implemented?
Post by: isnottheword on April 14, 2017, 09:19:33 AM
When it comes to cross-chain transactions down the road, would this give a new lease of life to the likes of Litecoin?

If lightning network came into play, would there even be a need for cross-chain transactions using an alt-coin?

What alt's are compatible for cross-chain transactions?


Disclaimer: There's definitely major comprehension / knowledge gaps in my musings and questions above. I'm just trying to figure out if there could be scope for something like Litecoin to become relevant for micro-transactions down the road (in association with bitcoin through cross-chain transaction) and furthermore, if some alternative crypto's are the natural fit for same (i.e. not all other Alt's would be compatible / suitable for this purpose)?
