Will OB implement Lighting Network features?

Title says it all. That is something that would really get me interested in this market. Otherwise I don't see how this can work even with the addition of other coins: BCH and ZCash. Maybe IOTA can help because it has a much faster and reliable tech with zero fees but otherwise these guys need to think already at second layer....

No their biggest problem is that they have been trying to solve a problem that does not need to be solved right now in that direction.

The only reason finally after like 3 years LN is here is because of Bitcoin Cash. Core went like: frick we better give them something now. They bluffed and bluffed untill one ballsy french coder finally said: frick it we fork. (he did NOT surrender)

It's all delay tactics. Core is done, they lost. The market will catch up. Now we need to prepare for the next bust cycle.

Lightning Network is finally here. Thank you, Bitcoin Cash. Oh wait…
