You and the 30 others that think centralized Tor marketplaces are the darknet can have fun selling it for Bitcoin when you&#39;re done transacting.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Gas fees&#xA;&#xA;Any chain charging &#34;gas&#34; is just another SQL database underneath, it&#39;s not a crypto payment... there&#39;s no proof-of-work costs, no decentralization overhead. It&#39;s a gift card for fiat, that&#39;s why it works like fiat.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; LN people know that the error rates are at least 1% at best&#xA;&#xA;Only LN people that use mobile nodes&#xA;&#xA;&gt;  the killer application for crypto was *remittances*&#xA;&#xA;Remittances are downstream of what you&#39;re remitting having value, the killer application is infinity divided by 21M.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; it is too late to enter as an experimental product&#xA;&#xA;Ah yes, everything will always be as it is now.</html></oembed>
