I am sorry if this has been asked before but does Monero have lightening network support for atomic swaps?

Come on. Monero is lighting years away from Lightining networks. Monero is developed 3 years. Bitcoin is developed 9 years. There is also way more money in Bitcoin development. Monero is currentlly trying to get multisig, that was available on Bitcoin years ago. But this dont mean atomic swaps will not be available with Monero.

Actually Bitcoin multisig is kind of simplistic and easy. It's just a literal list of possible signers. Bytecoin did something similarly dumb years ago but it was totally incompatible with Cryptonote privacy, so what's the point? Monero's multisig is a lot more sophisticated where the number of signers doesn't change the size of the transaction, it doesn't change the verification time, it works perfectly with ring signatures (and of course RingCT) and it isn't distinguishable from regular transactions on the blockchain.

Nevertheless I agree there is a lot more money in Bitcoin development and that any kind of Monero lightning network is far off.
