Lightning’s Balancing Act: Challenges Face Bitcoin’s Scalability Savior
The bitcoin community has been discussing the concept of the Lightning Network for a year now. It is often cited in scalability debates as a solution to bitcoin's limited transaction throughput capabilities. However, it's a complicated concept and several parts of the implementation are still theoretical or in development. This article will attempt to provide more insight into how the Lightning Network will operate and the challenges it will face. The following assumes you have a basic understanding of Lightning Network. If you’re new to this concept then you can check out this explanation....

Both Ethereum 2.0 and Polkadot are promising sharding-based protocols overcoming the scalability challenges facing legacy blockchains. Although slightly different, together, the Relay Chain and Beacon Chain represent another significant leap forward, especially for interoperability. Partitioning the Problem: Sharing the Load via Sharding Scalability has been a hotly debated topic after networks bumped up against the limits over the last year. Yet, long before it entered the mainstream conversation, developers postulated several angles of attack. Despite the triumphant launch of layer 2....
The debate about bitcoin’s scalability should be viewed as a positive indicator, not a negative one. Instead, it has delivered a barrage of negative media that might have affected bitcoin’s price. The reverberations around bitcoin developer Mike Hearn’s departure from bitcoin continue, but bitcoin’s price has begun to recover while the global stock market is tanking. The recent price activity is only one reason Martin Tillier, a financial advisor writing in Nasdaq whom we’ve sourced before, has concluded: “Reports of Bitcoin’s Death Are Greatly Exaggerated.” Tillier thinks the discussion....
While many people take the view that Bitcoin is dying or failing due to its current issues with governance and scalability, Blockchain Capital founder and managing partner Brock Pierce believes this current controversy is a good sign. In his view, the fact that there are so many transactions on the network should be seen in a positive light because it’s a sign of the technology’s success. In a recent interview with Epicenter Bitcoin, Pierce explained his point of view on the Bitcoin block size debate and how it is currently causing uncertainty in the market. The key point that Pierce, who....
For almost two years, there appears to be little discussion in bitcoin’s two main public forums other than scalability, an ancient topic, in bitcoin terms, that has consumed our community at the expense of all else. There have been many metaphorical casualties, including high principles, such as the right to an open and free public debate in what used to be bitcoin’s main public space, but can bitcoin ever return to a united community? Should it split in two with the market holding a referendum? Can there be a grand compromise or will the question of scalability forever become part of....
With the halving looming and transaction capacity maxed out, some are predicting a doomsday scenario. Much, therefore, depends on the Lightning Network. A “decentralized network using smart contract functionality in the blockchain to enable instant payments” which is capable of an amazing “millions to billions of transactions per second” according to the Lightning Network’s website. The Lightning Network is a fairly old — in bitcoin terms — idea which makes use of bitcoin’s inbuilt script system allowing for trustless payments through intermediaries, but enforceable on the blockchain. In....
