I don't know why you would downplay the resignation of major contributors to a project especially when they go with such remarks.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471172.0We had discussed this here and maybe you missed the discussion.
Lightning network has no downtime because they have invented the unique feature of decentralised downtime. The loose sense of a network remains but it's realistically very possible for the channels that power your transactions to all be down.
A very flawed system nonetheless.
The proposed solutions aren't better either.
We should avoid forking bitcoin at all costs. Let alone for favouring such a flawed system.
On chain scaling is simpler and we already have the finality and trustlessnes issues resolved.
Yes, I indeed missed that discussion. Nonetheless, that email confirms LN’s security process ( not design) needs tweaks—like every protocol. Antoine’s “halt” is temporary, per his focus on Bitcoin Core. Your “flawed system” claim ignores $2B monthly volume and 99.8% uptime (LNBIG). On-chain scaling at 7 TPS? Fork required (which you oppose). Just run a node.
