Hi John,
You've brought up a *very* important topic.
If we could lower the capital requirement, we'd lower the barrier for
people wishing to run a Lightning Network node.
Here are some thoughts:
- The trust-based system you're proposing looks like a
fractional-reserve banking system.
- Such fractional-reserve hubs will provide lower transaction fees
(because of lower capital requirements) — so the idea is worth pursuing.
- I have the same feeling that it should be possible to design a
proof-of-solvency.
If we could design a proof-of-solvency, we could replace the existing
fractional-reserve system. This is kind of a big deal.
So let's connect on Skype (I'll send a personal email). Anybody wants to
join the discussion?
P.S. Your writing style is very accessible - keep it up.
