IMO any blockchain-like payment system is incompatible with small and fragmentating networks...
hehe, did the tree make any noises when it's fall if nobody in the woods?
I mean sidechains possibly can work with fragmentating networks. Other solutions from layer two can work with it as well I suppose.
If network starts fragmentation it can create just a new branch inside of it.
Mmm... imagine that tommorow russian goverment will cut of runet from internet, what will happens to crypto?
Russian miners network reconfigure itself, and payments will working, but now it will be unnatural and unwanted fork of blockchain if we are talking about bitcoin for example
Sharding, sidechains and other solution of second layer can do this process more stable and effective in small networks and thin networks as well
