Jesus, this is precisely what the lightning network is for! Please, do a little research before dismissing it wholesale. The node you are connected to cannot refuse to pay, because you have a signed, but unpublished transaction of what he owes you (if he owes you). If he suddenly stops contact and says fuck you, you can just publish that transaction.

Seriously, this has always been the idea from the get go, so don't go blaming that you haven't read the latest update on how lightning works. If you don't understand something, don't go around spouting that it must not work.

No offense, but could you please calm down? I have actually done some research -- to the point of knowing how to implement lightning. However, it is a long time ago and things may have changed. I'm asking you for more information because you seem to know more than me. I'm not trying to shout you down. I'm trying to understand what I'm missing. It's totally fair if you don't feel you have the time or patience to explain it to me, but for both your sake and mine, it's probably best if you just say that and I won't bother you any more.
