You're simply avoiding the question again, because all you actually know about "lightning network" is it's the fake solution you have to repeat whenever anyone mentions bitcoin fees and 'speed'



All you're doing here is spamming affiliate links to centralized bitcoin exchanges, which shows even you don't believe what you're posting (decentralization uber alles). And if someone has their bitcoin on an exchange, they'd have to be insane and/or value their time at absolutely nothing to waste half a day trying to figure out some kludge on top of bitcoin instead of just taking two seconds to convert to a cheaper, faster coin.




Here's the recent experience of someone who has actually used LN, unlike you:

Short version:

4.8% fee ... 12 payment attempts FAILED ... probably work fine in 5-10 minutes ... at least I only got one error this time ... that didn't work either ... need to pay some onchain fees ... wait for a few blocks ... payment isn't coming through ... What's with these fees? $9 fee for a $119 payment not enough on LN? ... Failed ... off-chain fee ... needed to pay so much [fees] ... only ~86% was sendable ($110 of $127) ... this error took 6 min ... can't set manual fees ... gets stuck waiting ... unfortunately it failed

This kind of fiasco would certainly explain why, after years of promotion of LN, most bitcoin users are still opting to make normal bitcoin transactions, where at most you fill out a form, press send and get on with your life.



As can bitcoin exchanges, online wallets, mining farms and any bank, business, organization or individual even remotely dealing in bitcoin. And you've already established, above, you give zero genuine fucks about centralization anyway.
