because currently its design allows anyone to easily run a node - it is as permissionless, open and accessible as Bitcoin itself) we will still have a secure and trustless main network.
as soon as i read "gigabyte blocks" i started laughing at how much hatshpsut93 has been indoctrinated by the reddit propaganda. no where on the face of this planet have gigabyte blocks been an actual proposal
secondly LN is not permissionless..
its like saying anyone can open a bank account. but if you cannot take your money out unless the bank authorises it. its not permissionless
LN is a smart contract with a counterparty that needs to DUAL sign with you.. if a tx does not have both signatures the payment cant be authorised..
the flaw then becomes that you are forced to broadcast a previous ln tx that was countersigned.. but the counterparty can then invoke their CSV revoke code because you transmitted a tx you shouldnt have. in short LN is ripe for blackmailing people by not agreeing on payments and then forcing the other party to lose out
its really worth people reading the code and documentation and not just reading reddits garbage.
LN is not a bitcoin solution.... at best its just a off chain service.. the big issue is devs are not fixing bitcoin. they are crippling bitcoin to try to force/persuade people into thinking this offchain service is the last resort..... sellouts
