Slushpool needs to seriously consider implementing lightning payouts if it wants to regain its position as a popular pool. With the difficulty level rising and miners shutting down their S9 machines due to slow on-chain withdrawals, lightning payments could be a game-changer. By enabling lightning payouts, Slushpool would have the opportunity to tap into a significant amount of hash power waiting to be accepted. It's not too late for Slushpool to become the pool for the people again and allow miners to earn more frequently. Lightning infrastructure is affordable and it's high time for Slushpool to embrace it. Help spread the word, lightning payouts are desperately needed.
