⚡️ #Bitcoin -developers are losing faith in Lightning, or the next articles that will break your faith...

The Lightning Network L2 solution for the Btc network has been repeatedly positioned as the key to the spread of Bitcoin as a payment network, since it allows for instant and almost free transactions. But there is a caveat 👇

🔴 Over the years since the network launched, many bugs have been discovered in the Lightning network.

🔴 To receive funds, the user needs to connect to the channel by paying the standard network fee #Btc . Then he can receive bitcoins through the Lightning channel, but to transfer them to the main network, he again needs to pay the standard Bitcoin fee.

🔴 Longtime Bitcoiner John Carvalho once tried to create software solutions based on the Lightning network and called the protocol “complex and fragile.”

🔴 Last year, developer Antoine Riard reported a vulnerability in the Lightning Network, after which he left the project.

🔴 Lightning channel capacity is low and has been declining since December 2023. It was 5,500 BTC, and now it is 4,750 BTC.

🔴 The number of nodes and channels between nodes is also decreasing from its peak in 2022.

Are you upset?
