RE: Will Bitcoin’s Lightning Network make Journalism great again?

in #bitcoin6 years ago

How is Lightning Network not just a glorified sidechain? I've been invested in Bitcoin since 2011 and I still can't understand how LN can solve the scaling issue if one can only send payments to another on the same LN channel without incurring transaction fees. Addresses on the same channel are only a tiny subset of total addresses. And if bitcoin CAN be sent intrachannel without fees, HOW??
