10. It is like lightning loop.
    If onchain tx is sent,
    lightning btc is charged
    automatically.

15. History of
    Bitcoin and Lightning
    Aug 2008, bitcoin proposed
    Jan 2009, bitcoind
    2009, Non-Custodial Wallet(Cold
    wallet)
    2010, Exchange(Mt. Gox etc.)
    2011, Custodial Wallet
    (blockchain.info etc.)
    2014, Non-Custodial
    Wallet(Trezor, bread wallet etc.)
    Fed 2015 LN proposed
    Middle 2015, LN node(testnet)
    2017-2018, Non-Custodial LN
    Wallet (eclair wallet, bl wallet etc.)
    2018, Exchange(zigzag etc.)
    Early 2019, Custodial LN
    Wallet(Blue Wallet etc.)

16. What’s next 1-2 year about
    LN wallet?
    Non-Custodial Wallet for general people is important to save money
    but technologies are not enough for now.
    Custodial Wallet is dangerous but this is convenient to provide UI for
    general people to use easily for now.
    Usability of Non-Custodial Wallet keeps on being improved more and
    more but it needs more time.
    Payment Channel is difficult to understand for general people, “why
    does it need much time to create?”. “Lightning Factories” solves it.
    AMP solves stability and upper limit amount of payment.

    lightning engineers?

18. Layer Structure of
    Lightning and Internet
    Blockchains
    Lightning Payment
    Channel
    Routing Algorithm
    Atomic Multi-Path
    Payments(AMP)
    ???
    Physical Layer
    Data Link Layer
    Network Layer
    Transport Layer
    Application Layer
    Sphinx Presentation Layer
    Lightning Network Internet
    HTLC
    Session Layer

19. What is needed to increase lightning
    engineers?
    OSI reference model is not the same as structure of internet completely but Application
    Layer is not enough.
    One of protocols of Application Layer is HTTP. HTTP is very simple and it is not needed to
    know details of data binary structure and TCP/IP. It needs just IP address, port, HTTP
    methods.
    Today, lightning engineer has to know much knowledge about LN. It is big hurdle. Usual
    engineers should not know details to develop service.
    Application Layer is like a package of protocols.
    Selection of L2 penalty and eltoo.
    Selection of binary data structure(sphinx, invoice based or direct payment).
    Selection of routing algorithm
    “Lightning Factories” is good for this package protocol because they have to know
    payment channel if it takes much time to create payment channel.

    killer app?

22. What kinds of LApps are
    killer app?
    Small Payments are automatically executed without the
    user's awareness. Instead of sending to try to remit, it is
    executed as a result.
    It is necessary to secure so that it is not executed
    arbitrarily.
    Lightning is very familiar with automation.
    Rule based automation
    Machine Learning based automation

    and liquidity for long time aspect?

24. How does we increase nodes
    and liquidity for long time aspect?
    Liquidity depends on the number of nodes and channels, channel
    capacity and whether connect with nodes which have many channels.
    This is the case of the first growing era.
    For now, it is possible to collect data of nodes and channels and store
    in one node.
    This is not a static network so it is difficult to decide best payment
    routes but it is almost okay for now.
    Liquidity service such as making inbound channel is also available.
    After AMP and rebalancing etc. to grow liquidity are released?

30. How does we increase nodes
    and liquidity for long time aspect?
    There is no incentive for general people to join LN.
    For now, only geeks. Curiosity driven.
    Fee policy is almost 0 satoshi.
    base fee is 1 satoshi and fee rate is too low.
    Fee policy is set by hand.
    Upper limit of nodes shall be about 10000 nodes as much as bitcoind.
    Fee policy should be set automatically by investigating P2P network.
    Rule based approach
    Machine Learning approach
    Fee is very big incentive to join.
    Backup service and watch tower service are also incentive but this is important after nodes
    are growing.
