Lightning Network

“Its about 2 cents for a coffee(10k sats ~= 7.6 usd), or 0.2%.”

“I'm a big believer that Lightning is the only way to solve micropayments.”

“lightning serves that purpose quite well because it is decentralized because it is based on bitcoin”

“It's not private. People are going to be linking these things to their identities on crypto exchanges.”

“Lightning - a fast, instant, bitcoin layer 2 network - is perfectly sufficient for micropayments.”

“As a lightning node runner myself and someone who sends lightning around on a weekly basis”

“Lightning payments are not stored onchain and have already been proved more private than monero payments”

“you'd use side layers like Lightning payments for the near instantaneous exchange”

“I'm looking at the transaction fees for lightning network and they are in the range of FedNow or RTP.”

“You would use lightning network, which takes less than 2 seconds finality.”

“It can scale without any changes and if there is demand it will surpass Visa and MC”

“The current actual throughput of the Lightning Network is estimated at around 300 TPS”

“the layer 2 lighting network that can process more transactions than Visa and MC combined with very cheap fees”

“the only internet-native global automated payment system that i trust which is Bitcoin”

“it only "preserves privacy" when you're extremely careful with how you use it”

“lightning - which preserves privacy and is still bitcoin”

“it is only viable if adoption by number of nodes and TVL grew by orders of magnitude”

“I had a terrible experience trying out Lightning. I hit high fees sending Lightning transactions.”

“Lightning's BOLT12 standard, which is currently finalized, will increase anonymity even further.”

“Lightning is not fully anonymous. It can still be traced by the participating nodes.”

“The Lightning Network is specifically designed to work around bitcoin design flaws”

“Lightning has mostly done this by being a lot more centralized in practice”

“Lightning is actually the only truly scalable solution we have for micropayments”

“Bitcoin via the Lightning Network is near cost-free and instant.”

“LN gets you close to some forms of atomic exchange, but close-to-atomic isn't atomic”

“Implementing lightning (bitcoin layer 2 solution) is probably easier or at least at par.”

“are in the "less than a cent" category and are settled in a few seconds”

“It's good to have an alternative to fall back on when inevitably cash will be outlawed in Europe”

“Of course, only in conjunction with Lightning (a layer 2 solution building on Bitcoin with anonymity and instant transaction settlement).”

“Lightning is built in a way that it is decentralized and that promise can never be broken.”

“Modern Lightning, a layer 2 solution based on Bitcoin, does Bitcoin transactions in less than a second for less than any Visa fee.”

“the lightning network is evolving too, making anonyous (to a certain extend), sub-second, off-chain transactions possible at way better efficiency regarding energy”

“You obviously haven't looked into the tranasaction economics of the Lightning Network.”

“Bitcoin Lightning was sorta dead on arrival, though it had both the trust and the technology solution”

“the lightning stuff makes it settle/confirm faster than doing an on-chain transaction”

“you can give and receive value directly using the Lightning Network. It is seamless in most Nostr clients”

“Their famous Lightening L2 is an abomination of hacks and centralization and it still doesn't scale.”

“you can literally send 10cent right now to someone at the other end of the world”

“Lightning introduces decent privacy, not perfect, but decent.”

“for everyday, more privacy-friendly smaller transactions that are not put on the blockchain”
