    I have invented a better Lightning Network

    Posted: 02 Jan 2018 05:41 AM PST

    Here's how it works:

    1. Make an on-chain transaction to open a payment channel; specifically, sell X BTC for Y BCH using Shapeshift

    2. Now that you have BTC in your payment channel (BCH), spend it however you want

    Using this method, it's never possible to steal funds, you don't have to remain online indefinitely, and you never have to close the channel.

    Jaxx Fee for BCH is .0002 (50 cents?), should be .000002

    Posted: 02 Jan 2018 01:55 PM PST

    Why is the Jaxx fee so high for BCH?

    PSA: Avoid KeepKey Hardware Wallet

    Posted: 02 Jan 2018 05:36 PM PST

    Not gonna say too much, however:

    Not too long ago I purchased a KeepKey hardware wallet and ever since the fork I've been regretting it.

    They have been extremely quiet about future plans, their BCH support is still in the beta client only, they only have a handful of altcoin support, they have 0 plans for introducing segwit, the software is buggy, fees are set in stone (too high), and various other things, including announcing a limited "Gold KeepKey" instead of working on updating their wallet.

    I just purchased a Ledger Nano S and most likely wont be going back.

    If you don't want to take my word for it, check out the KeepKey subreddit and see what some of it's other users have to say

    If you are looking into a hardware wallet I'd recommend the Ledger Nano S

    Vitalik is funding "layer-2" research, so why is off-chain scaling bad?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2018 10:23 PM PST

    Seriously I am not a troll! I am a long time BTC holder, who moved over to BCH and a few others this year when it became obvious that the BTC core devs weren't able to forge a consensus about how to move forward.

    However, it feels like so often the debate gets derailed around the question of whether scaling should be on-chain or off-chain. Clearly BCH's big blocks are a good approach now, since it's an easy decision to make and it allows cheap, and relatively fast transactions compared to BTC. I see the clear logic of that.

    But it still takes me 5-10 minutes to confirm a transaction with BCH.

    Aren't we still going to need sharding or "layer-2" transactions with BCH or any other alt who's ambition is to serve billions at scale? We need to be able to pay in seconds in point-of-sale situations. Am I misguided here?

    Vitalik seems to be encouraging folks to propose innovations to handle that future. Should those of us interested in BCH not be encouraging the same?
