The people working on Bitcoin Core and the people working on different LN implementations are very different. You're delusional.
^ defending blockstream yet again ^
ok based on the main people CODING LN -
https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/graphs/contributorsrusty russell(200k+ lines)
Cdecker(5k+ lines)
[not including half a dozen small spell checkers]
LN: rusty russell - blockstream employee
LN: cdecker - blockstream employee
core: gmaxwell - blockstream BOSS
gmaxwell CTO = rusty russells BOSS
adam back CEO = boss of the boss
LN is a BLOCKSTREAM project based on ELEMENTS (hint is in the url above)
segwit is a BLOCKSTREAM project based on ELEMENTS
trying to assume that LN is independent, trying to assume segwit is independent, trying to assume core is independent. is your delusion
its like your trying to fool the world by saying that Apple watch is not an apple product. by showing that the apple watch is made in a different office.. (yet reality is that the office and staff are managed by the same company)
one thing i have noticed.
very recently the 'manager' of core has shifted from a blockstream BOSS to a blockstream 'contractor'

but still does not mitigate the blockstream control of core AND LN
