It's not a soft fork, so it doesn't activate. Your statement therefore doesn't make any sense
Lightning is already running, but still in a beta form. The UX is fairly clunky and there are potential bugs in the various implementations. It's not ready for mainstream use yet.
It's a system of mini banks, we have gone over this time and again but you love on-block, then off-block because
you are a member of the party faithful here and resort to insults when faced with facts.
Currently they are just testing LN inter-bank transfers and then we might get a wallet but it's going to take a year or
so before Jaxx or Exodus wallets are going to implement LN (if they ever do) and the voice from developers like me
will only grow stronger in the mean time.
The blind faith card has been played, fees went to $55 using this "Market Forces" argument so take both TN transaction fees and
interest fees out of Lightning and fudge the "Off-block" divide and conquer for now whilst a scaleable on-block solution is found or face the very
real prospect of Bitcoin being confined to the history books and i am not alone in saying this but others that step forwards here get chased
away.
