The Lightning Network - Deconstructed and Evaluated
The Lightning Network - Deconstructed and Evaluated Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Terrorist Financing (ATF) professionals, especially those working in the blockchain and cryptocurrency environment, may have heard of the second layer evolution of Bitcoin's blockchain - the Lightning Network, (LN). This exciting new and rapidly deploying technology offers innovative solutions to solve issues around the speed of transaction times using bitcoin currently, but expandable to other tokens. Potentially however, this technology raises regulatory concerns as it arguably makes, (based on current technical limitations), bitcoin transactions truly anonymous and untraceable, as opposed to its current status, where every single bitcoin can be traced all the way back to its coinbase transaction1 on the public blockchain. This article will break down the Lightning Network - analyzing how it works and how it compares to Bitcoin’s current system, the need for the technology, its money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) risks, and some thoughts on potential regulatory applications. Refresher on Blockchain Before diving into the Lightning Network, a brief refresher on how the blockchain works - specifically the Bitcoin blockchain (referred to as just “Bitcoin” with a capital “B” herein) - is required. For readers with no knowledge or those wishing to learn more about Bitcoin, Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos2 is a must read, and for those wishing to make their knowledge official, the Cryptocurrency Certification Consortium, (C4) offers the Certified Bitcoin Professional (CBP) designation.3 Put simply, the blockchain is a growing list of records that can be visualized as a series of blocks linked by chains. Each block contains specific information - in Bitcoin’s case, a list of transactions and their data, which includes the time, date, amount, and the counterparties4 of each transaction. -
Openbazaar Is a Decentralized Commerce System
SED 457 Transcript EPISODE 457 [INTRODUCTION] [0:00:00.3] JM: Cryptocurrencies give us a decentralized financial system. OpenBazaar is a decentralized commerce system. A merchant can log on to OpenBazaar and post a listing for an item. For example, a t-shirt that I want to sell for $15. My item listing will spread throughout the OpenBazaar, peer-to-peer network. A shopper can download the OpenBazaar desktop application and see my listing for a t-shirt. The shopper can pay me $15 in Bitcoin and I will send the t-shirt to their address. If I were selling that shirt on Amazon, the corporation would take a cut of that transaction. OpenBazaar has no transaction costs, so users get to save some money. However, users also miss out on the benefits of a corporate marketplace. Amazon makes sure that the seller will send the item to the buyer and makes sure that the buyer pays the seller. On OpenBazaar an escrow system is needed to place money in the hands of a neutral third party until the goods are delivered. Amazon ensures that the distributor sends the item to the customer. On OpenBazaar, users need to figure out how to send those goods to each other. Brian Hoffman was the first developer to start working on OpenBazaar, and the project has grown significantly since his initial commit. OpenBazaar now has buyers and sellers and open source committers, and there’s a clear desire for an open system of commerce. Brian is also the CEO of OB1, a company that provides services on top of OpenBazaar. -

A database, 2. that is distributed (not centralized), 3. whose data elements are immutable (unalterable), and 4. that is encrypted “At its simplest level, a blockchain is nothing much more than a fancy kind of database” - Blythe Masters, Digital Assets 4 Bitcoin Distributed Payment System • All participants (A-I) have sight of all transactions on A B the blockchain (and their C entire history) • Payments pass directly I between users, here A to F, D but are verified by other users (here, D, G, and I) • New transactions are H E broadcast to “miners” • When verified, the G F transaction is added to the (Bank of England Quarterly Bulletin 2014 Q3) blockchain history 5 Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages: Disadvantages: • Accessibility • Slow transaction rate / (potentially) high cost • Redundancy • High Energy Cost • Passive access • Lack of Privacy 6 SECOND LAYER SOLUTIONS – A DISCUSSION OF LIGHTNING NETWORK Second Layer Solutions • Developers need a way to scale if Bitcoin is to have widespread adoption. One so-called “second layer” solution is “Lightning Network.” 8 Lightning Network • In Lightning, two peers make a single transaction on the blockchain, each locking some amount of bitcoin in a “channel.” • The two parties can then trade back and forth so long as the net balance never exceeds the channel balance. -
