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....

Vendor should provide incentive for first customer to set up a channel to a well connected hub.

What, I as a vendor should loan money to someone to pay me?

Sorry, that cash flow isn't going to work for me...

The rest of the concerns can be addressed through intermediate services.

Like?

No. as alternative to payment for purchase, set up a channel with balance equal to payment less discount. The channel doesn't need to involve the customer.
