I think you're still at that point that you need to read for yourself about it. We cannot spoon-feed you all the info because it's not even humanly possible by simple dropping 14 years of information just like that.

I think there is nothing wrong with this type of question, it's not spoon-feeding at all because there are a lot of misleading information about Lighting Network and it's hard for a newbie to understand what's true and what's false, especially when search engines don't work the way they should.

By the way, I want to give you all a good description of what Lighting Network is in real life:
Imagine, you are a western union and own office in two countries, in France and England. England and France have 100K-100K Euro. A customer comes in Western Union office, in England and pays me 20K to send it in France. What England does is that England knows that French office has 100K in reserves and ask France to take 20K from its pocket and give it to French customer. Now, England has 80K, France has 120K (actually, England has 120K and France has 80K but this is because they change numbers online and use their own cash reserves till the end of the year). Now, imagine that French customer sends 10K, then 30K and then 20K, then English customer sends 20K and 50K back. Now, in numbers, France has 130K and England has 70K but actually, England has 130K in cash and France has 70K. Now, the year ends and they have to correct the Balance. So, England collects 30K Euro, England hires a helicopter and sends it to France. They finalized everything and both of them paid fees that it takes to transfer money from England to France via helicopter, before that, they were just changing numbers and paying zero fees. Now, France actually has 130K in cash and England actually had to give away 30K.

I hope this explanation isn't very confusing.
