What do you mean "impossible to implement true decentralized routing"? Many examples of decentralized distance vector and link state algorithms exist. I'm not sure what they are doing but routing isn't some mystical thing that requires a master node.

Here's a thing I did a while ago: https://github.com/jtremback/reactive-payment-routing

I was so impressed by this, I went snooping into your Github and saw you are now working on https://altheamesh.com/

Which I have to say, is a very cool project and one I would love to help spread when your protocol can handle 3G or LTE-like speeds. Keep up the good work: you're really on to something with this project!

Very interesting and impressive project, thanks for sharing!

It seems like p2p routing might work for a small network, but the complexity turns chaotic at scale very quickly. I guess time will tell how effective the LN implementation is.

just like with TSP - if you are willing to make concessions about accuracy, the problem becomes much more manageable.

LN is DOA.

Routing does not work. And it will never work.

Yeah! Like Segwit, which now already runs 30% of all transactions (source: reddit ). Ver is like Ballmer who didn’t see the iPhone coming

SegWit will do nothing for long term scaling. Watch and see.
