Well, thunder has been tested and optimized for throughput.

Maybe other L2s would also be tested and optimized for similar levels of throughput.

OK, I also wanted to ask that: if you thought it was a sound strategy to just have a bunch of ephemeral blockchains we can abandon, but I guess Thunder is already proposed as that.

That brings me to the next question: why not use Zcash sidechains as the payment scaling solution instead of Thunder?

(I know you'll say you don't make the rules and it is a possibility, but what is your opinion?)
