19 sats \ 2 replies \ @south_korea_ln 9h \ on: Tether is coming back to the Bitcoin blockchain bitcoin
Putting aside the question whether that's a good thing or not, i wonder from a practical point of view of things will look like. From what i remember, only entry and exit nodes need to care about the taproot asset part. In practice, will it only be these nodes that are involved with direct channels between them or will routing nodes be involved with increased routing opportunities/burden for them?

All nodes can route those payments. Except for the entry and exit node its a regular ln payment.

Yes, I understand that.
Just wondering what the reality will be: only direct channels between people interested in taproot assets, or will there be a lot of hops involved involving routing nodes? Let's first see how quickly the wallet ecosystem builds on this tech. This will likely give us part of the picture.
Not an important question. Was just wondering.
