I just created my node with channels and I am sending and receiving Lightning Network payments, I don't know what you are waiting for here is an example of my tx.
The fees for opening the channel is totally worth it and you don't have to close empty channels because later on once people realize how useful LN is for small payments you may end up filling them again.
SO MUCH LIGHTNING!!!!
With this I will end my posting about Lightning payments and Eclair until I find something new to post.
Do I see this correct: you now like LN?
Yeap
Good to see :)
I just need it to find the perfect app to work for my needs.
Eclair mobile is providing me the solution I needed it because it is actually cheap once you configured your mobile node correctly. I have been playing with it and paying around zero to 2 satoshis max.
Now I can start to think that the next value will be the satoshi, because with LN you can send 1 satoshi almost for free so we only need for one satoshi to be at least 1 penny to $1. Now I can clearly see Bitcoin reach 100 millions dollars for coin or $1 for satoshi.
Because it is actually possible to send the smallest fraction almost for free. I will write about it in a post.
A new wallet is either being created or a new wallet is being created that is to be revolutionary - Phoenix Wallet (from ACINQ)
I do remember reading something about that when I was researching eclair mobile, for the moment eclair has the most basic things you need but it is good to know they are working in something new.
I wonder how lighting network will be in the next year when it comes to software development and features?
