This seems legit, Coinbase made an ACE move with this.

Let's sink this in; Coinbase+Lightning.

So now that Bitcoin has smart contracts capability, ETH is needed for...?

Is that Rootstock or something new?

I don't think it is related to Rootstock, looks like something new:

I guess by now you all know Blockchain.info added BCrash. 

Like it or lump it, that bastard isn't going anywhere.

 I've actually given a lot of thought to running a well funded LN node, and play with fee arbitration.

 Lock away my Bitcoin so it makes more Bitcoin for me ?

 Sign me up for that shit.

Whatever you do, don't sign up your email to that site. It looks fishy as hell. (anonymous whois, non coinbase domain, simple webpage with incoherent copyright, etc etc).

About the seting up LN nodes... I would bet there will be already key actors like coinbase which will get the biggest piece of the cake as they could even offer a direct local wallet to LN ramp with no need for individual open/closing of channels. More so as I would expect that an efficient multipoint routing would come at a later stage of LN deployment.

I think the caveat is that it has to be in a hot wallet, or am I mistaken?

I think a lot of people are thinking the same thing and a huge p2p LN will pop up made up of such individuals.

for the blockchain platform Ethereum provides, which allows people and companies to build their projects on. Bitcoin doesn't offer the blockchain, Ethereum does. Ethereum's business model is more tangible to businesses, governments, organizations that Bitcoin because it allows those entities to build projects and processes off the blockchain without having to code and develop and test their own!

Did ETH figure out how to unstuck those latest coins from that latest fiasco?

Even if that were the case... Why not just use ETC instead? Is there any advantage ETH offers over ETC for running those contracts?

Unless you consider an advantage Vitalik being able to rollback the "blockchain" at will any time a HUGE fuckup happens again.

This post ranks high on Torque's clinical narcissist test.  

This is not always about you, Jbear!

Jiihan Wu,(or one of his friends,)  set up a parody site to malign it and BTC at the same time, soon after their announcement. https://tulipmining.com/

Just curious - any evidence for that assertion?

If you think you can run smart contracts without having to code, develop and test, then you have clearly never built anything in Solidity.

I also foresee that major card issuers of the future (TenX, Monaco) will offer minor small fee payments between participants within their systems.

BCH seems to be doing its own thing and unhinged from BTC now. Now the trade against BTC is ETH
