  1. In my mind, you're the smartest person in crypto right now. But when you talk about LN, I'm puzzled because of how much of a disaster it still is overall compared to something that works really well like Nano. Can you compare the two or do a review on why more people aren't talking about it? LN seems like IOTA which never really worked. Nano has been working like it's supposed to for two years now.

  2. I think the lighting network (LN) dev team is forgetting one critical feature. A basic GUI. Sure I can use LN command line but it sucks when I am the only other person I can transact with.

  3. Omg… I was preparing my video on rendez vous routing because I agree that this is an extremely important and nice feature enabling many cool applications. You should have mentioned though that it is rather difficult to combine the two onions following the sphinx mix format. Well now I can skip to the next video or focus on those technical details.
