How is this possible?  No Lightning without a malleability fix.  

Schnorr sigs are inherently non-malleable, or at least sigs using the schnorr implementation that Bitcoin Core devs designed (and Bitcoin Cash devs copy-pasted) are
They're claiming they will be able to do payment channels and lightning, but until they implement the rest of their segwit-under-another-name hash/txid split, they likely won't. Schnorr plus the aborted BIP62 implementation they copied from core aren't enough. Smiley

In other news, Toomin is apparently thrashing around trying to get a tiny percentage improvement in block propagation over BIP152 compact blocks (now ~2 year old tech). Such innovate.

(turns out that without using minisketch they can't get within an order of magnitude of the known best case for almost pointless marginal optimizations... and it's kinda hard to make a case for how much better you are when all your examples are copying the people you're trying to say you're better than.
