"In Lightning, not one user "deposited" Bitcoins to another party, and then issued with a worthless token. They are actually signed Bitcoin transactions made by both participants of the channel that can be broadcasted and included in a block in a later time. It's actually a smart contract between two parties."
this statement above does not show how LN works, but is just a wishy washy mashup of it kinda does this and kinda doesnt do that, all squeezed into a paragraph to basically mean nothing at all in complete context
you keep using things that make many random points that dont disprove anything as your counter to single items.
but lets try separating and individualising and translating the statement
1. in lightning no one user "deposited" Bitcoins to another party
a. LN is a separate network. it has no blockchain. thus no bitcoin (unless you believe bitcoin can exist on multiple networks)
b. lightning uses Msats, bitcoins remain on the bitcoin network(blockchain locked). no bitcoin is deposited to LN
c. lightning channels are multiuser, bitcoins are locked into a multisig
d. its not about 100% single user control
2. and then issued with a worthless token
a. LN channels use Msats which is a token that is NOT recognised by the bitcoin network
b. worthless/worth, is in the eye of the beholder. msats are not community audited, value is agreed between channel parties
c. channels of Msats can be setup, agreed where collateral can be coinbase balance, altcoins, or anything human agreed
3. They are actually signed bitcoin transactions.
a. CLTV multisigs are bitcoin recognised transactions. HTLC smartcontracts are LN payments. . learn the difference
b. eltoo factories dont give channels the CLTV. just HTLC. its the factory(Server) that later signs a CLTV
c. HTLC do no broadcast, are not measured in btc/sats and who owes what changes often without settlement
3c. understand it. if you have a 'agreement' of who owes who what. but its not settled. the the value is still owed. and all the agreement is, is a tally of who owes who what. the very definition of an IOU
seriously windfury. get out of the echo chamber of words and social drama.
learn the actual function of LN by using it. reading CODE,
please atleast just use LN before ever making another post concerning LN. then you can have a more practical discussion
