    From very near the top of the post in bold:

    "Keep in mind, this is currently for testnet BTC ONLY right now. "

    Yeah, OK.

    Are you just shilling for Blockstream or do you actually believe this theoretical lightning that only is approved for use on testnet has solved Bitcoin scaling?

        It comes with a lot of disclaimers, e.g. "don't use it or you're at risk of losing your funds."

        Listen to Rick Falkvinge. He explains some of the potential problems with LN.
