You’re the one that claimed connection to TSP, you tell me.

Your posts contribute nothing.

Shortest path requires publishing all nodes and connections.

What if nodes go offline? How fast will the LN algorithm reroute? Does this mean everyone must connect to the Winkevoss/Bitmain/WellsFargo Nodes for payments?

Why would anyone bother dealing in Bitcoin when there's other usable alternatives, faster cryptocurrencies, or just paypal/venmo?
