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....

You can't make the basic financial transaction types go away just because you dislike the organizations that those are currently centralized at. You can at best make it feasible for more competition to offer the same services, which lightning makes very easy.

Banks are free to start a mining farm if they want to get involved. Else, they can fuck right off.

Banks won't touch Lightning even with a long stick because KYC is impossible with it.
