I came across a thread discussing lightning network on reddit. A comment was stating there is an unresolvable issue with the concept of lightning network, related to routing. Quoting the comment:
"The problem is, actually scaling and preventing decentralization requires far more than a nice UX that lets you shoot tx from alpha-tester-A to alpha-tester-B, and Lightning currently utterly fails at both of them. It can't scale to 100,000 users due to routing difficulties; nor does it has any plan of bootstrapping to "everyone using it" without the hubs hypercentralizing to a few "liquidity providers" (read:banks); nor does it have any plans to have actual security on a congested blockchain with high fees. As a scaling solution, Lightning is a lot worse than the blockchain itself right now." Can somebody comment on this? Thanks!
