Technically maybe yes, the Lightning Network works like a payment system of "IOUs". But of "IOUs" you have full control over, and a network that scales Bitcoin immensely more that will never be done on-chain.
Sorry franky1, development of Lightning is ongoing, and the network nodes, and users are increasing.
nothing against the LN continuing. but the constant advertising that its a bitcoin feature or bitcoins solution. while the devs and other less secure network promoters keep saying bitcoin cant scale and LN is needed.. is the issue.
I appreciate the honesty. But please take the gaslighting one step down.
Plus I agree that the Lightning Network is a software experiment that
could fail. But give it a chance. The developers are trying their best on it.
LN should be thought of as what it really is. a separate network for multiple coins. that uses its own token of 12 decimals and a second party to co-authorise payments in channel payments, AND requiring the other parties in other channels along routes.. AND the destination to be all online to allow a payment of these 12 decimal tokens to occur faster than a bitcoin transaction would to random people.
Gaslighting,
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslightingbut hey. lets hear the typical reply from other network advertisers. "if you dont like it F**k off" to another network
Everyone is free to criticize, but not to the point of gaslighting.
