Applying this statement to related a area, would you also agree that proposals to introduce pre-payments for HTLCs to mitigate jamming attacks is similarly a dead end? Personally, this has been my opinion for some time now. Which is why I advocate for the forwarding pass approach (gracefully degrade to stratified topology), which in theory would allow the major flows of the network to continue in the face of disruption. -- Laolu
