This is not the Lightning network. Can you read? The same ideas apply to the technology we’ve implemented for Bitcoin micropayments, which is called micropayment channels or payment channels. The tech has a long history in Bitcoin — it was actually originally imagined by Satoshi Nakamoto when he designed two features called nSequence and Locktime, and a variant of it was later implemented by Matt Corallo and several other developers in BitcoinJ. At a certain point, complementary scaling solutions may need to be found — such as a hub-and-spoke model that would allow for each device to establish one channel to a hub and then exchange with all other devices connected to that hub or interoperable hubs, or the highly anticipated Lightning Network (for which payment channels are a building block and hubs aren’t needed). Jesus you f0rkers are ever desperate. Gavin is taking a vacation, maybe you should too?

Yep I know, this is better than Lightning Network. Lightning network requires a third party. This thing is P2P.
-edit-
This has nothing to do with the fork. What's your point?

What are you even saying !?!?

Just ask John-connor how to do it.

Probably why there is still no lightning network neither other than vaporware.

Another graduate of the Bram Cohen charm school? You really are a spastic of gargantuan proportions. LN has a fundamental difficulty with finding routes without hubs. Maybe you didnt get that update. 21 spanked blockstream good and hard. And you are doing a shit job of managing PR.

Geeez another clueless thread by knight. Dude I doubt you have the required IQ to understand this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zVzw912wPoAlso notice that this video is outdated already because thanks to Core devs malleability was fixed with segwit so Lightning Network is looking better than ever. Please stop trying to play the #R3KT game, you aren't qualified to debate highly technical stuff otherwise you would be pro-Core and pro-LN. LN is about developing a routing system that can make these type payment channels interoperable.
These 21 channels just let you open a channel and transact with one person (apparently unidirectionally). That's been in Bitcoin for a long time, but no one ever develops uses for it.
The LN will allow a person to open a channel like this and then send a payment to someone they haven't opened a channel with. In practice, the node the payor opens a channel with will have several channels open and payments will be routed between numerous payment channels until the destination is reached. This could take 10 hops, but it will be super fast because no confirmations.
By 21 adding this, they are simply incrementally building up to the eventual LN. It's a good step. Also, it's a good way to show the need for the LN; once people use this and like it, they will critique it for being limited to payments with only one person. What's on your link will never scale to the level LN can scale.

The employers will certainly not like this. It seems that we have identified yet another shill that is unwilling to listen to reason. Probably why there is still no lightning network neither other than vaporware.
"Vaporware". You must be enjoying that kool-aid.

- route format (no decision re: onion style (SRT bridging or any other)
- initial node finding
How about these points, Mr. IQ?

"Vaporware". You must be enjoying that kool-aid. I think you will find that you are mindless shill around these parts. LN is still at the prototype stage. What exists currently in roasbeefs repo is in no way a viable implementation of LN as Blockstream have envisaged it to be. Maybe his former USG employers at Google might give him an idea of how to make it super-private? With Tor maybe?

that's awesome. Once they release their client to do this on any machine (not just a 21 computer), then what?
