That was a tiny instantaneous attack im meaning a continuous one and yes the small one was wiped in one block but how would it cope if every 8MB block was full its going to take a considerable longer time to verify which means the creator of the block has a good head start while the others are mining on just the headers while its verified meaning more empty blocks
Again your words are cheap ,
Spam Bitcoin Cash continuously and prove your point , or let your inability to do so ,
prove mine.

Ive no intention of doing so just stating if it was to happen it would fail just like BTC does having a larger block does nothing long term its just a short term fix just like segwit is
The only difference is segwit does allow for greater scaling in the future LN gets a lot of grief due to some issues it has but don't forget its still in alpha and these issues are being worked on and the only reason LN gets the main focus is because its being developed by core/blockstream but it will not be the only player in the game now transaction malleability is fixed it makes it much easier for 3rd parties to make and use there own solutions which could be better or could be worse we have the choice and users will vote with their BTC.
I don't think LN is a holy grail of crypto, and probaly won't solve capacity issues.
Just as an example, why would anyone prefer to use 2 on-chain transactions (open channel > [transfer] > close channel) for a simple transfer over a simple single on-chain TX?
I know, the channels are meant for re-using over longer period of time, but here we go with another problem - you must be online to send-receive money, right? So if you want to pay someone, that someone must be online at the same time.
LN is more for merchants, peyment hubs and other centralized players, and not for poor little users sending their money few times per month or year.
where can i find info about the current stats, like fee and number of tx per block etc?
