Title: Sprite, Faster Than Lightning? Post by: OmegaStarScream on February 23, 2017, 03:09:31 PM I was just reading an article on Coindesk[1] where "Sprite"[2] claim to be faster than Lightning network. Unlike LN though , Sprite require a soft work just like SegWit and other proposals. What are your thoughts on this ?

Well, I don't think bosses will allow such thing. :D Title: Re: Sprite, Faster Than Lightning?
