The post ‘Wayward’ Dethroned In Netflix’s Top 10 List By A New Show appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It had an impressive run on top, but now the time has come for Wayward to take a bow and head down the list, its season 2 hopes up in the air, despite being a miniseries. Now, a new show has replaced it, and it’s not that much of a surprise. That would be Ryan Murphy’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the tale of the 1950s killer, whose horrible crimes inspired such movies and Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs. The Ed Gein Story has instantly debuted at #1, and we will see if it lands on the trajectory of Ryan Murphy’s original Monster story, Dahmer, which remains one of the most-watched Netflix series in history. That was not the case with the second entry, Monster: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, but that may change given that he’s now covering the most notorious serial killer of the last century. The show is reviewing poorly, just a 42% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 62% from fans. That said, this is sort of par for the course for this series. Dahmer had a 57% and the Menendez story had a 45%. So this is the lowest, perhaps, but they’re all low. It remains to be seen if this will attract a ton of controversy like the other two. The crimes are so old that it doesn’t seem likely that will be the case. I’m almost done with the series now, and I was taken off guard by the “smol bean” Gein, played by Charlie Hunnam, who comes off as extremely kind and gentle, even when he’s skinning people or making bowls out of their skulls. It’s a strange effect. As for Wayward, while yes, it’s a miniseries, because it has performed well, there is talk of… The post ‘Wayward’ Dethroned In Netflix’s Top 10 List By A New Show appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

‘Wayward’ Dethroned In Netflix’s Top 10 List By A New Show

It had an impressive run on top, but now the time has come for Wayward to take a bow and head down the list, its season 2 hopes up in the air, despite being a miniseries.

Now, a new show has replaced it, and it’s not that much of a surprise. That would be Ryan Murphy’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the tale of the 1950s killer, whose horrible crimes inspired such movies and Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs.

The Ed Gein Story has instantly debuted at #1, and we will see if it lands on the trajectory of Ryan Murphy’s original Monster story, Dahmer, which remains one of the most-watched Netflix series in history. That was not the case with the second entry, Monster: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, but that may change given that he’s now covering the most notorious serial killer of the last century.

It’s a strange effect.

As for Wayward, while yes, it’s a miniseries, because it has performed well, there is talk of the show potentially getting a second season. The odds may be long for that, but Netflix does like its low-budget hits, so it’s not something that can be ruled out right now.

The new season of Love is Blind has arrived and is at #3 for its premiere here. Of note, Paramount+’s Halo show has been licensed to Netflix now, one of the most bizarre video game adaptations of all time that must be seen to be believed by Halo fans. Truly, it’s a…take on Master Chief. Former #1 Black Rabbit is down to #6, but that’s a miniseries with effectively zero plans for a second season.

I don’t mind The Ed Gein Story as much as some critics. I mean, I don’t think I’d recommend it, necessarily, but I am interested enough to see it through these final episodes here. I’ll do a review after that.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
