i wouldnt count on moving large amounts of coin on this new netwrok, i cant risk that, i already took a risk in investing coins now another risk on top of that risk. oh no.
there are always people here who don't get it right. I'm sorry if your risk turned out to be losses. But maybe this risk turns into a win in the future? I just want to state something very clear, cause currently here in the forum there is too much fud on lightning.
- The bitcoin network has proven to be secure for very large values.
people discovered, that bitcoin was not good enough for smaller payments, so SegWit for larger blocks was developed, and Lightning for smaller values.
- The Lightning network is the idea for mini or micro payments.
A new technology is never ever ready to be used for large amounts. Why would you want to put large amounts into something that you don't trust? There is a contradiction in this... If you think it is too much risk, then maybe stay with bitcoin (or other coins). Nobody forces us to use lightning ...
There are also people who try to say that lightning is insecure, is a banking system, is not scaling, or is not trustworthy, or even better, is a centralized system. For sure they know how the future will develop (aka throwing shells).
Don't listen to these idiots! Participate in setting up a node, get accustomed to its features, and create your own opinion. And yes, use the forums here (good!). That's why we have brains. Raise open ended questions, and keep the discussion going with arguments, instead of assumptions (based on zero knowledge). And with our brains we make the crypto currency world sexy, future proof and fun.
People who are just criticizing without proper knowledge just drag you down to their idiotic knowledge, with their stupidity, and will beat you there with their experience. You don't want to be there!
