>I was excited for Lightning until I've learned about Nano (formerly Raiblocks). It promised and actually delivered totally free AND near-instant transactions. Worth checking out if you didn't knew about it.

It's worth nothing that lattice/DAG based cryptocurrencies offer different security guarantees compared to blockchain based ones, so it's not fair to compare them on transaction fee/volume alone. Sort of like it's not fair to compare SQL vs NoSQL.

It's fair to compare them in terms of tx fee/volume, but excluding the different security guarantees is pretty bs.

It's also interesting to note that Nano doesn't incentives miners.

Fair enough. Nothing to incentive full nodes.
