I've seen one site put in Lightning and then after a while remove it anyway despite most people there using BTC to play. Especially the past few years fees have really been cheap enough to send normally, I guess the demand isn't as much as we would have thought.
And yes, maybe I feel more secure paying $1 to ensure I get it there than $0.01 to wonder if I'm doing it right.
This is the main problem with using the LN network in everyday payments. I also noticed that when the main bitcoin blockchain is in a calm state, then the commissions become very small, sometimes they are measured in a few cents on the slow transaction option. In such periods, the relevance of LN is indeed reduced. And the number of LN users is also decreasing. And yes, maybe I feel more secure paying $1 to ensure I get it there than $0.01 to wonder if I'm doing it right.
So devs casinos are thinking - is it worth it to provide LN, or this payment option will remain unclaimed and even unnecessary.
Therefore, I think that the introduction of LN in general in the crypto-currency market is going on so slowly, and in particular, the use of LN in crypto-casinos too.
Hope you don't get me wrong that I don't like Lightning, I actually do, I just feel like it's not as easy to use as Bitcoin itself (which according to a lot of newbies already is quite difficult, hence why they stick to easy wallets instead of a real client).
So yes I said more secure but the real reason for most people could simply be that it's not as easy to use.
I didn't know LN users decreasing, thought it was always on the up?
Or maybe it's my own fault for not expressing my thoughts correctly?
So: of course, the number of LN users does not decrease in a global perspective. The number of channels is growing all the time. I meant the fact that when the bitcoin mempul is small, the commissions are small, it may be easier for the user to complete a regular transaction in the main blockchain. And there is no need to understand the complexities of LN. And these difficulties still present a problem for many inexperienced people. But when the commissions on the main network become large, for example a few dollars, then of course LN becomes more in demand. That's what I meant. And this process is cyclical. Now, during the bitcoin flat, it is clear that LN is less in demand. But if there is an increase in the bitcoin rate, the commissions will increase, many will again use LN.
