What Hacker News says

> * https://github.com/acquia/lightning This project is a web development tool and has nothing to do with crypto. Back to your comments on the state of LN development, I would not call it robust when the current implementation requires every client to monitor the blockchain 24/7 just in case a node attempts to cheat the system, and there is a good chance the cheater will succeed when the settlement layer becomes congested. For now they are very much pie in the sky.
