Update Bitcoin codebase to support Lightning network to solve scalability issues #87

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

I think this could be relevant to make LBRY scale up for millions of users. I believe it is soon time for LBRY to hardfork!

I will also write about these issues at https://LBRY.Community

I am open for discussion on this matter. :)

Sorry @BrannonKing , I haven't written about it yet. I have been busy with some other things. This issue is still in the back of my head, and I will probably write more about it when the LBRY blockchain is actually getting more unconfirmed transactions, and when the lightning network is developed more. Here is a link to https://lightning.network if you're interested btw. :)
