2160d · Graphene vs Lightning
Obviously they're different technologies, however the main purpose of their implementation is for reduced fees. There'd be no reason to implement these technologies otherwise

The main reason for Graphene is to allow for a more efficient block propagation. Nothing to do with fees.
replied 2160d
More efficient block propogation resulting in less fees due to more transactional data able to fit per block due to less traffic overhead.

Fascinating. I need to research this more and understand it more. Assuming it's true which seems likely, this needs to be much more widely dispersed information. Planck fee!

Graphene doesn't change anything about what goes *in* a block.

Just which parts have to get sent over the network to *represent* a block.

Maybe, in a unconstrained blockchain, like BCH is. Not in BTC. Miners in BCH could find that there is less risk of orphans with graphene, and could lower the min fees.
