Many of you were asking me whether I was concerned about centralisation on the lightning network. Another way to say that is, should we be concerned about hubs developing? Well we see some evidence of that happening here. Our old friend SleepyArk here is clearly a hub. On the positive side, this is an ideal position that web wallets like Blockchain.info could occupy and earn small fees to pay for their free web wallet software. On the downside, these hubs are danger zones that can be attacked both technically and legally by imposing Know Your Customer regulations on the hubs. I’ve been thinking about this and I have a technical solution for this. Why don’t the developers bake decentralisation into the code itself? When you want to open a channel, you could opt to scan the network, fund the node with the fewest connections and then open a channel with them. Similarly, when the Lightning software is calculating the route across the network, why does it intelligently take a path that would re-balance, the account balance in certain channels along the way. Now that might be double dutch if you don’t understand technically how the lightning network works so I apologise for that. Of course I have no idea how my solution would be accomplished technically but I think the idea is sound, let me know what you think in the comments. Preferably post a comment on Steemit or DTube so I can tip people who gives the best answer. **Story - Bitcoin and IndaHash prices** 6:29 https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/indahash/#charts Let’s do IndaHash first because yesterday they got listed on their first exchange. At the moment I record this, IDH is trading for around $0.44. The ICO pre-sale price was $0.18 and the public sale price was $0.28 so pretty good. However, it looked pretty bad a few minutes after the market opened because the price immediately tanked by 75% but has since recovered to a reasonable place. https://tidex.com/exchange/idh/eth IndaHash have done something I think is very smart. During their ICO they h ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUgqKAuQUV4
