https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Payment_channels

It's not the URL I was thinking of but I think I was thinking of "Nakamoto high-frequency transactions", though it would require miners to freeze out miners that put non-final transactions in blocks. The problem is that there's no way to know if that miner actually broke the rules or if he simply didn't have the final transaction seen in his mempool.

Nontheless there are several suggestions to achieve payment channels on-chain without lightning network and exploring them would make more sense than trying to get people to use LN.

bitcoin unlimited still respect nakamoto consensus, they will roll back further than 10 blocks, so if more miners use that client bch respects nakamoto consensus

i was kinda pissed when ABC implemented the 10 block limit in 2018

the change of difficulty adjustment also kind of goes against how bitcoin was supposed to work. weak chains were supposed to die off from long block times.

but it's at least not as bad as the 10 block checkpoints (which makes it so that new nodes must check with authority to know which chain is valid, can't just look at proof of work)
