This is fantastic, I can't wait to see who emerges as the first lightning network payment channel provider. This helps alleviate fundamental issues with the current implementation of Bitcoin without the need for a hardfork, and could even be a solution to the wallet identification issue if the payment channel provider acts as domain name registry. ie instead of accepting transactions to an ugly string I could accept transactions to ntq.blockchain.info.
