I'm actually really curious about this as well, as Stripe becoming a lightning node would be huge for the network as they have so many connectors, both to payers and payees.

I kind of see the endgame of Bitcoin being this and I'm super bullish about BTC becoming viable as a payment platform again in a much more interesting way than the other competitors. BTC will have the best of all worlds if LTC actually ends up working on top of it.

For anybody familiar with BTC the LTC papers is pretty easy reading: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/paper

It is a super neat idea in all respects and could enable a whole new class of companies that provide these payment channels, all with very clear economic incentives not to suck while also requiring no trust on behalf of the users.
