Ah, I missed the article's final paragraph - "However, one very important note is that until both CSV and SegWit are implemented on the Bitcoin blockchain, transactions are not enforceable at the bitcoin protocol level.
Therefore, Blockchain says that “the current Thunder prototype is best suited for transactions among a trusted network of users and should not be used for real payments.”
So only fuck know how many months more to wait.
I understand youre frustration, it feels like ages. Segwit is under testing atm, i dont mind that it takes so long because going from 7ts to 100k+ is not a small step but a major mega upgrade just grasp that thought for a while. When its ready it shoud be working correctly as intended so no money will be lost. That disign process can take some time.
I see LN/thunder as an extra payment option for the millions of sheeps, storing ore keeping coins save is for alot of ppl ''to hard to handle ore just FUBAR'' You can also use Bitcoin on the normal way, perhaps it will more suitted for larger transactions.
