Yes I in particle hate how when I buy groceries thousands of computers worldwide have to burn electricity running trillions of wasted computations aiming to find the correct random sequence that allows the retailer to accept my $50
Based on your comment history I can see you have a habit of hating on cryptocurrencies but it would be nice if you could at least get your facts straight.
Lightning network relies on layer 1 nodes, right? So unless it reduces the load on the old dirty Bitcoin network, it's just lipstick.
If you can process 1 million times as many transactions per mined block that make it an innovative scaling solution - not sure I understand the lipstick analogy. Care to elaborate?
