Lightning transactions are instant, you can do more transactions per second in one channel than most other blockchain can handle in total.
Reread before you comment in error again.
Final Transaction is onchain, and that can be up to 2 weeks using LN.
The Internet is much more complicated, but see, you are using it! A car engine is complicated, but one can still drive one right?! This is a bad argument, we are able to make user friendly wallets and software that will enable your grandmother to use lightning. In time.
Those user friendly options are the ones that will be maintained by 3rd parties.
How many Linux Nodes does your Grandma currently run. LOL!!
@Wind_FURY
LN Fees are currently cheap because many hub operators are operating at a LOSS.
Dummies can only give away things for free for so long until they have to raise the price.
I see your vocabulary now includes gaslighting,
the fact you confuse it with anything I say , shows you have a long way to go before you truly understand economics or logic.
Good Luck in your personal growth.
Cheap? I run the site https://www.lightningslotmachine.com/, most transactions, maybe 75%. Both sending and receiving payments have 0 satoshi as a fee.
A lot have 1 satoshi as a fee. The most I have ever seen is 8 satoshi. That's 0.0005152159 USD
I think is fair to say that Bitcoin is now the blockchain with the lowest fees.
LOL,
Nope many alts have cheaper transaction fees.
IE:
Zeitcoin Transaction fee is $0.0000025 US
Mintcoin Transaction fee is $0.0000129 US
* Also coin network only charge the single transaction fee,
LN network will charge a transaction fee per every hub required to send funds,
meaning you could pay 4X your LN fee per transaction as 4 hubs might be needed to complete it. *
Multiple other altcoins have fees lower than LN's 0.0005152159 USD
All one has to do is look.
FYI:
LN Fees will increase when hub operators decide to stop taking losses and actually make a profit.
So current fees will increase as time goes on and dramatically if LN ever becomes popular.
