Re: [Lightning-dev] Can I try Lightning without running a fully-fledged bitcoin block chain?

[Christian Decker]

Dear Mahesh,

as interesting as the discussion of alternative blockchain storage it,
it is probably off-topic for the Lightning mailing list. So I'd suggest
taking this discussion to either the bitcoin-dev or bitcoin-core-dev
mailing lists.

Cheers,
Christian

Re: [Lightning-dev] Lightning network implementation with ethereum

[Christian Decker]

Dear Mahesh,

that's a very interesting question, to be best of my knowledge there is
no working implementation for Ethereum and I don't think anybody is
working on one currently. There is the Raiden network attempt at porting
a Lightning-like network to Ethereum, but I'm not sure what the current
status of that project is.

A direct port is probably not possible due to the differences in the
underlying blockchain, but a Lightning-like network is definitely
possible.

Cheers,
Christian
