Reboot - Read_773 - A Solution to Scaling Lightning

In this episode of Bitcoin Audible, I revisit an
important concept that deserves more attention: timeout
trees and their potential to revolutionize scaling for
the Lightning Network.


Based on Shinobi's article, "A Solution to Scaling
Lightning," we explore how this innovative proposal
leverages CheckTemplateVerify (CTV) to create a simple
yet powerful scaling primitive. Could timeout trees be
the key to unlocking the next order of magnitude in
Lightning's efficiency?


I break down the mechanics of timeout trees, their
implications for channel factories, and how they address
Lightning's long-term scaling limitations. Along the way,
I share my own commentary on the broader impact of this
technology, from its role in decentralizing trust to its
potential for reshaping local and global financial
systems.


What does this mean for the future of Bitcoin? How can
timeout trees empower families, communities, and
individuals to reclaim sovereignty in a world dominated
by centralized systems? Let's find out.
