Bitcoin Lightening Network- Why do we need it?

Recommended Posts

In our everyday life, we are purchasing a lot of things which cost $1 or $2 or even lower sometimes. Sometimes, when the fee is higher, we have to pay a lot of fee for faster confirmation. Imagine, you are having a coffee for $2 and paying with BTC when BTC price is high and network is very busy. In some cases, the fee will be as high as $15 or even higher for faster confirmation. Otherwise, the transaction will be stuck in the blockchain which will not be accepted the shopkeeper of course.

SO, for micro payment like this, where the amount is tiny, we need Lightening Network to pay the amount with a lower fee. Let me know if you are not understanding anything, i will share more details.

I have heard about Lightning Network before but could they really solve the all issues? As you know there is another project called BAKKT.Some people want Bitcoin make more transactions in one second.But is it possible ? How many transactions will we be able to do if the Lightening Network comes to our daily life ?

You are absolutely right especially the 2nd one but so far we really do not have a 2nd choice unless someone else come and propose a better one. But right now LN is better than nothing in my opinion.

I am beginning to think bitcoin is no longer suitable for micro payments lighting network or not because of its price.

Why not, with lightening network, the fee will be reduced to 2/3 satoshi or lower. Don't you think it's cheapest than ever? You can read more article on Lightening Network.

I appreciate the reason behind lighting network but it may cause vulnerability on the bitcoin Blockchain. 

How? Can you please explain some more details? I am not really aware about that. Would really appreciate much.

Block mining, stucked transactions. Are you by chance saying miners that cannot mine low fee block will mine lower fee block on lighting network? So a miner on the normal bitcoin chain can mine and send via lightening network? If this continues, what happens if everyone migrate to lightening network? Same story. Reason i said chain may become vulnerable

Lightening Network is a channel/platform where transactions are happened with offchain, not in the mainchain. As a result you don't sending transaction rather you are sharing balance in the same place. That's why there's no fee required when you are in the channel. you have to pay a little fee to the channel creator only.

How long it will take Electrum to have the next release? I think they are working on Lightning Network integration? Have anyone here used LN before?

I tried once although I am still very much confused how things going on. It will take time to understand the whole process though. If you are interested, you can PM me. I will share you site where you can have the test of lightening network.

There is no date announced for the next release but we can assume it will happen soon.

I will PM you later. I really need to know how things goes and if I could test it then. Perhaps it would be helpful I think. We both can set a channel and try with small amount.

 

Do you have time now?

Send me a PM. I will respond you later after the competition here. You know it's a big race with cryptokram and Dimarrik. Not have single second now 😄

Yes, my friend, please share more on LN here. I understand that LN is made for small purchases and fro merchants so they can get the Bitcoin at a faster turnaround. Using LN, is the transaction fee really minute in here compared with the usual way of sending Bitcoin? 

LN doesn't reflect the exact way to transaction. Rather it's a way of sharing fund without any fee through a channel. The only fee we have to pay is, payment for the channel creator.

I will share a details article link here.

Okay, am wondering how the business community reacted to Lightning Network... has it become a popular option for them or this has not yet been known by many? 

We know that there is really a big problem in the adoption of Bitcoin by the merchants, so hopefully LN can be that big reason why they should be starting to accept Bitcoin. 

It's not yet implemented in popular wallets, you can have separate option to use it. However, Electrum has planned to implement it sooner, with their next update. I hope that will be a good one for LN. Since LN is still in early stage, most wallet doesn't have this feature.

The main objective of LN is to solve the problem with micro payments, I hope it will increase the adoption.

I think that is why we need to have another coin payment besides of using bitcoin for the payment transaction. We can use altcoin to pay or buying something, and I am sure that we can find altcoin, which has a stable fee, and that coin will be a low coin price. 
But if Lightning Network can solve this and many store or merchant already used it, and they said that Lightning Network could serve well than bitcoin, then I think we can use Lightning Network for the transaction. We don't have to stick to use bitcoin for making a transaction because we have a thousand coins that can be used for the payment.

It said we have to send bitcoin with channel. Who own the channel, are they the miners? Thanks @xBDT Script

Think it this way, you and bob has a channel a common bank account. Not a bank account but more like a transaction record book in  accounting. I do not have accounting knowledge so I am really having hard time to get the term.

Okay so the transaction record book will keep the record of the transactions. The channel is more like this. You and bob will send some amount there. You will access your coins and bob will access his coins. Now when you want to send some money to bob you just update the record book.

So there are no miners.

I really had hard time to understand your post and no sure if I understood much from the above. But this quoted part means you are saying bitcoin not to use for daily life tx. That's what you said?

The way we are going right now with bitcoin with the high fees and tx confirmation time it is not much easier to use it in regular trading like shop for groceries and this is why we are talking about this side chain. We really do not need alts if we can improve the bitcoin network LOL

Bitcoin can be used for a daily transaction IF you don't mind to pay a higher fee, but if the merchant has an option to pay with altcoin, you can use altcoin to pay, so you don't have to pay a high fee.

In this case, I don't use bitcoin to pay or buy something. I always convert my bitcoin into fiat because I don't see a local store in here that accept crypto. 

Another case, just imagines, if you have a gold medal and silver medal. You want to buy, let say apple, the price is one silver medal, but if you pay using the gold medal, you need to pay for half gold medal plus you need to pay the fee for a quarter of gold medal. Which one do you want to use to pay the apple? I guess you want to use a silver medal than to use a gold medal because the gold medal will be precious for you.

That is just an illustration for bitcoin and altcoin. Maybe I am not good to explain something.

But to improve the bitcoin network, I will let the dev and the team to work because I don't know a programming language🤣🤣🤣

I hope you can get the point😁

This is why so far now we have LN to test and use. If we see large adoption for LN then we will see more people in the space going for bitcoin.

Just now, bitcoworld said:

Bakkt is about to launch an App for Merchants like Starbucks which are Bakkt Partners. This App will allow huge companies to accept bitcoin more than easy and everything is backed and safed by bakkt itself 😄

Finally Bukkt is bringing something good LOL This will be indeed huge. By the way, I already have a dinner paying bitcoin but the fees was expensive LOL

Than go back to that store and convince him to use Trust Wallet for Bitcoin Payments. I think its based on LN and the Fees should be zero kinda ^^

So far this is what we have now of course or there will be no way to pay for a $2 coffee where the fees will be $0.25 LOL

I am excited to see this and also by learning that Electrum is going to add the LN in their next version. More power to bitcoin mate. Good days are ahead.

The Fees are 0.25$ ???? The fees will be Zero on Bakkts App. Starbucks will accept BTC in 2020 like it seems when the Bakkt app is ready Starbucks will be the first user of it.

I didn't mean it for Lightening Network. It's the general fee we are paying most of the times. With LN, the fee will be huge less than this amount. Zero on Bakkt apps through what? LN? I am not really aware of what you are talking about.

Exactly! It is good for the scalability of the system as Bitcoins transaction per second is only 7. With only that Bitcoin won’t be a global currency. It could be only a digital gold with its store value.

Well, if you are not aware what iam talking about then check again what i wrote when i mentioned you the first time and maybe also look the video i posted so you will be aware for sure 😄

Nobody will use the Mainchain so you dont have to worry about fees.

LN is not on what Bakkt will be based. They will make an APP where their Customers like Starbucks can accept Bitcoin for COffee. Bakkt is doing this to hide high transaction fees since everything will be in their own wallet...

2$ Coffee? Dunno where you life but Coffee here in Germany starts at 3€ if you want a good Coffee and STarbucks some 6-8€ depends on what a version of their crap coffee you want to drink 😄

Did you ever try to use Lightning Network in real life so far bro?
I have real doubts about using it myself. Recently I heard about new bug and one guy lost a bunch of Bitcoins like this... I will try to find exact news

I sended some small transactions and  tested it out but a real usage we are some years away i think. There still bugs yes but it gets better day by day. There was a bug in 2010 i think so someone created 184 Million Bitcoins 😄 but they saw it pretty fast and fixed it. Also some bug in 2009 where you could spend other peoples coins. I think there more time pass it will get better and stronger as very intelligent people are working on it. It would not be smart to bet against it since big people also promoting it not for no reasson IMO. There will come a time when the LN is resistant like the Blockchain and this will be the time when this LN will send shitcoins like Ethereum and Ripple to zero value....

Here it is. I found that news about guy called ZipoTm from Reddit  who lost 4 Bitcoin using LN.
I think we should be very careful when using LN

As i said, you would probably be one of those guys calling bitcoin will fail in 2010 since there was huge issues back then. Everything starts small. Give it some time brother and dont use it for now if you dont feel comfortbale.

I will not use it for sure. You will see when they add LN to Electrum and more people start to use it.
I expect so many people will complain and blame Bitcoin for this and not LN.
That can be real issue.

OK... my predictions are not that bad so far.... but I can be wrong.
Lets see what will happen when this new Electrum wallet version comes out.

    • Эксперты связывают коррекцию с продажами на фондовом рынке, укреплением доллара и страхом инвесторов из-за замедления падения ставки ФРС.
    • Вера в рост BTC и ETH падает: эксперт ссылается на метрики опционов, которые прямо на это указывают   Трейдер Гордон Грант уверен, что значительное снижение подразумеваемой волатильности (IV - Implied Volatility) базовых опционов ATM «на деньгах» на Биткоин и Эфириум наиболее точно отражает настроение трейдеров. Он считает, что данная ситуация указывает на существенное снижение веры трейдеров в рост цен на ведущие криптовалюты в ближайшее время. Мнение Гранта опубликовало издание The Block.   Согласно представленным трейдером метрикам, где он сравнивает изменения цен на недельные и месячные контракты на опционы ETH, видно что  ATM c конца апреля буквально рухнула на 30% (с 88% до 58%).   BTC ATM обвалилась в тех же пропорциях. Изменение стоимости страйка опциона на главную криптовалюту «на деньгах» на том же временном диапазоне показывает обвал с 80% до почти 50%.   Гордон Грант считает, что такая ситуация на рынке опционов указывает на то, что продавцы после произошедшего халвинга не верят в рост Биткоина. По крайней мере в ближайшее время они этого точно не ожидают. Графики показывают, что опционные трейдеры утратили надежду на рост лидеров криптовалютного рынка, поэтому перестают холдить. Проданные контракты и создали это крутое пике.   Грант прокомментировал ситуацию так: «Cреднесрочная структура IV опционов показывает крутой перекос, который произошёл лавинообразно вследствие вышеупомянутой динамики котировок. Также ситуация связана с потенциальным возбуждением волатильности ведущей криптовалюты во второй половине 2024 года и в следующем году».   Грант указывает на то, что на рынке опционов на данный момент присутствует уверенность в том, что цена исполнения будет значительно ниже ожидаемой ранее. Участники рынка опционов, согласно метрикам, считают с равной долей вероятности, что Биткоин к концу года достигнет $75 000 и $100 000 соответственно. Это сравнимо с ситуацией в марте, когда на рынке была уверенность в том, что курс поднимется выше $73 000.   Грант считает, что ходлеры очень поздно пришли на рынок, чтобы получить высокую прибыль от волатильности до халвинга. При этом стали спешно уходить, когда премии стали слишком «жирными», что также послужило причиной обвала ATM.   На сегодняшний день премии настолько снизились, что BTC опционы с экспирацией на $100 000 продаются уже с дисконтом в 10%, при том что ещё в декабре премия составляла 20%. Вера рынка в то, что цена достигнет данного значения к концу года, существенно снизилась.   Стоит напомнить, что 1 мая котировки Bitcoin упали ниже $57 000.   Что касается прогнозов других аналитиков, то отметим, что ещё в апреле специалисты Glassnode писали о том, что график цены Биткоина формирует дно в области $60 000 — 66 000. При этом они предупредили, что если цена главной криптовалюты упадёт ниже указанных значений, то такая ситуация спровоцирует панику на рынке и приведёт к лавинообразному обвалу стоимости BTC.   Аналитики JPMorgan предрекали подобный исход. Их прогноз был куда более пессимистическим. В марте они предсказывали, что после халвинга Биткоин уйдёт на коррекцию вплоть до $42 000.

    • CryptoNews of the Week     – Investors may not see a rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency to new historical highs in the coming months. Optimism about the launch of cryptocurrency ETFs in Hong Kong quickly dwindled, and bitcoin began to search for its bottom again. Liquidations of long positions reached $230 million per day, according to CoinGlass monitoring. It seems that bearish sentiments arose because the trading volumes of new ETFs in Hong Kong were significantly lower than expected, which led to a capital outflow from BTC-ETFs on US exchanges. According to Glassnode analysts, bullish sentiments persist as the market prefers the "buy on the dip" approach. However, they acknowledge that losing support at around $60,000 could lead to a crash in the BTC price to $52,000. Another expert, Alan Santana, believes bitcoin could fall even lower, possibly to $30,000.   – Legendary trader, analyst, and head of Factor LLC, Peter Brandt, has allowed for a 25% probability that bitcoin has already formed another peak (ATH) in the current cycle on March 14 at a high of $73,745. The expert referred to the concept of "exponential decay," which describes a process of decreasing growth by a constant percentage over a specific period. "Historically, bitcoin has traded within approximately four-year cycles often associated with halvings. After the initial bull rally, there were three more, each 80% less powerful than the previous in terms of price growth," the specialist explained. "In my analysis, I estimated the probability [of such a scenario] at 25%. However, I trust the report I published in February more. [...] The 'pre/post-halving' cycle construction suggests that the current bullish trend will reach its peak in the range of $140,000–160,000 somewhere in late summer/early autumn 2025," clarified Peter Brandt. Giovanni Santostasi, CEO of Quantonomy, questioned the appropriateness of applying the theory of exponential decay in this particular case. "We have three data points if we exclude the period before the [first] halving, and effectively only two when looking at the ratios. This is insufficient for conducting any significant statistical analysis," Santostasi commented on Brandt's assumption. According to his own power-law model, the peak of the fourth cycle is expected around December 2025, at approximately $210,000. It is worth noting that not only Giovanni Santostasi but also many other participants in the crypto market are counting on the continuation of the bull rally and achieving a new ATH. For example, Glassnode analyst James Check hopes that the BTC rate at this stage will reach $250,000. Even Peter Brandt himself mentioned $200,000 as a potential target in the February report he cited.   – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has examined the first cryptocurrency and its impact on global markets in a new report. The organisation recognises the asset's ability to positively influence the economy. According to the IMF, digital gold is "the key to autonomy" for many countries in difficult financial situations. The report highlights the growing popularity of bitcoin and its acceptance in various jurisdictions, while the tense geopolitical situation has made assets like bitcoin and gold "more relevant."   – According to analysts from Spot On Chain, their forecasting model, developed using an extensive dataset, takes into account halvings, interest rate cycles, ETF factors, venture investor activity, and bitcoin sales by miners. Using the artificial intelligence platform Vertex AI from Google Cloud, Spot On Chain obtained price forecasts for bitcoin for the years 2024-2025. According to calculations, the price of the first cryptocurrency will be in the range of $56,000-70,000 from May to July, characterised by increased volatility. In the second half of 2024, there is a 63% probability that BTC will rise to $100,000. "This forecast signals prevailing bullish sentiments in the market, which will be facilitated by the expected reduction in interest rates [by the US Federal Reserve]. This could increase the demand for risk assets such as stocks and bitcoin," representatives of Spot On Chain explained. According to their data, there is a "convincing probability" – 42% – that in the first half of 2025, digital gold will surpass the $150,000 mark, as the first cryptocurrency typically updates its historical maximum 6-12 months after each halving. If we consider the entire year of 2025, the chances of growth to $150,000 increase to 70%.   – Cathy Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, confirmed her long-term forecast for Ethereum. In her opinion, the main altcoin is capable of catching up with bitcoin. She believes that by 2032, its market capitalization will reach an impressive $20 trillion. Based on current values, the main altcoin should consistently trade above $160,000 by that time. Highlighting her views, Cathy Wood emphasized that technologically, Ethereum is more advanced compared to the flagship cryptocurrency. Moreover, at the moment, it remains the most in-demand platform for deploying smart contracts and decentralized applications of any complexity. In March, the price of ETH exceeded $4,000, but this was followed by a deep correction coinciding with geopolitical escalation in the Middle East, leading investors to flee from high-risk assets. Instead, they focused on diversification and began investing capital in traditional financial instruments. In light of these events, the key beneficiaries were the dollar and US Treasury bonds, as well as precious metals.    – Mark Yusko, CEO of Morgan Creek Capital, expects a massive inflow of funds into the cryptocurrency market as wealth estimated at $30 trillion from baby boomers seeks to enter digital assets. According to the businessman, capital flows will most likely come from them – those born between 1946 and 1964 – through pension accounts managed by advisors. (According to the Investment Advisor Association, in 2022, US financial advisors managed assets worth more than $114 trillion). Yusko mentioned that the introduction of BTC-ETFs has significantly changed demand. However, the full effect of this is yet to be felt. "I believe that within 12 months, $300 billion will enter this area – this is 1% of the $30 trillion. In fact, this is more money than has ever been converted into bitcoin in 15 years. We've only been working with ETFs for about three months, and we've received about 10% of what I think comes into this area from registered investment advisors who control all the boomers' money," stated Yusko, adding that the inflow could potentially increase the crypto market's capitalization to $6 trillion.   – American regulators, according to the administrator of Bitcoin.org known as Cobra, are preparing to impose a complete ban on self-custody of cryptocurrency. This means that US citizens will have to involve intermediaries who will store digital assets. "If you think the government won't come for your bitcoins, you simply haven't paid attention to this," Cobra scares readers on the X social network page. Cobra recently assured subscribers that a split might occur within the Bitcoin community. There are those who want the network to remain unchanged and those who would like to add more features to Bitcoin, expanding the network's capabilities. Cobra is confident that these disagreements could negatively affect the ecosystem of the first cryptocurrency.   – American entrepreneur and investor Chris Dixon criticised the tightening measures taken by regulators regarding cryptocurrencies. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is increasingly suing crypto companies, claiming they are trading unregistered securities. This has caused Dixon great concern. "The US has an absurd cryptocurrency regulation regime. [...] Major industry companies developing blockchain-based solutions face constant pressure. Existing rules encourage platforms to host only memecoins, which can be freely traded on markets without any restrictions, rather than other more useful crypto assets," stated Dixon. Further in his forecasts, the administrator of Bitcoin.org under the nickname Cobra believes that the US authorities are preparing to introduce a complete ban on self-custody of cryptocurrency. This means that citizens of the country will have to involve intermediaries who will store their digital assets. "If you think the government won't come for your bitcoins, you just haven't paid attention to this," Cobra scares readers on the pages of social network X.   – The Federal Court of Seattle (USA) has delivered a verdict in the case of the co-founder and former CEO of the largest crypto exchange, Binance, Changpeng Zhao. It is noted that the businessman was accused of crimes related to money transfers without a license. While the prosecution had requested three years of imprisonment, the defense suggested settling for five months of probation. Representatives of the Justice Department insisted that probation for CZ was inappropriate as "such a decision could encourage others to break the law on the largest possible scale." The defence argued the absence of evidence that the defendant was informed of the illegal activities on the exchange. As a result, one of the wealthiest people in the crypto industry got away with four months of imprisonment. Addressing his final words, Changpeng Zhao acknowledged that he had failed to properly establish a suitable client verification system at Binance and to counteract money laundering during his tenure. Recall that in November 2023, Zhao reached a settlement with the US government to end a years-long investigation against Binance. As part of the agreement, he stepped down as CEO and agreed to pay a fine of $50 million. However, as we see, the US authorities found this insufficient, and now, in addition to dismissal and a fine, a prison term has been added.

    • Почему цена биткоина столь волатильна и наступит ли стабильность?   Биткоин по-прежнему поражает своими непредсказуемыми изменениями цены. В момент своего создания его стоимость равнялась нескольким центам, а в марте этого года он достиг рекордного максимума на отметке почти $74 000. Этот долгий путь был отмечен крайней волатильностью, а иногда его колебания превышали 80%. Понимание нестабильной природы биткоина имеет решающее значение для успеха инвесторов и аналитиков, поскольку помогает составить представление о будущем криптовалют. Волатильность биткоина обусловлена множеством факторов, которые заключаются в характеристиках очень молодой цифровой валюты. В отличие от традиционных активов, имеющих многовековую историю, биткоин и рынок криптовалют в целом не имеют устоявшейся динамики рынка. В настоящее время из-за манипуляций его стоимость регулярно переоценивается рынком, что приводит к большим колебаниям цен в ответ на новую информацию и события. Одним из фундаментальных факторов, влияющих на волатильность BTC, является лимитированность его предложения в 21 миллион монет. Усиливающийся дефицит монет усиливает колебания цен, особенно на фоне растущего спроса со стороны розничных и институциональных инвесторов. Кроме того, влияние крупных инвесторов, которых обычно называют криптокитами, ещё больше усугубляет волатильность цен. Их значительные активы позволяют им влиять на динамику рынка с помощью крупных ордеров на покупку или продажу, что также приводит к резким изменениям цен. И здесь следует упомянуть относительную незрелость инфраструктуры рынка криптовалют и проблемы с ликвидностью, поэтому любые крупные сделки, безусловно, влияют на рыночные цены. Недостаток ликвидности может усилить колебания цен, поскольку инвесторы маневрируют, открывая позиции и выходя из них. Считалось, что появление деривативов, связанных с биткоином в виде спотовых ETF, и развитие рыночной инфраструктуры могут сделать торговый процесс более стабильным. Пока же мы наблюдаем резкие скачки из-за крупных притоков и оттоков средств. Источник - https://ru.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/article-2410618
    • April Results: A British Pound Trade Nets NordFX Client Over $25,000 in Profit     Brokerage firm NordFX has summarized the trading performance of its clients for April 2024. The efficacy of social trading services, PAMM and CopyTrading, as well as the earnings of the company’s IB-partners were also evaluated.   - This month’s highest profit was earned by a client from South Asia, account number 1765XXX, who made $26,757 from trading the GBP/USD pair. - The second place in the TOP-3 was taken by their compatriot, account number 1751XXX, with earnings of $16,976 from gold trades (XAU/USD). - The third step of the April podium was claimed by a trader from East Asia, account number 1609XXX, who traded not physical but digital “gold”: bitcoin. It was the BTC/USD pair transactions that enabled them to profit by $14,301.   The passive investment services at NordFX showed the following trends:   - In the PAMM service, we continue to monitor the account named Kikos2. Opened on November 18 last year, now after 162 days of operation, it shows a fantastic profit of 1161%. While this result is impressive, the aggressive trading strategy has also led to a substantial drawdown of 58%. Unrelenting statistics demonstrate that even more conservative trading can lead to a complete loss of funds. Therefore, investors must always exercise utmost caution and only risk the money whose loss will not disrupt their normal life. We will continue to monitor and see what happens with this account in May.    - In CopyTrading, we have previously highlighted the signal yahmat-forex, which has shown a return of 415% over 312 days with a maximum drawdown of 37%. Another interesting signal called NordFXSrilanka has made a profit of 39% in 113 days, specifically since January 6, 2024. While not as impressive as yahmat-forex, its notable advantage is a very small drawdown: just about 9%.   Among the IB-partners of NordFX, the TOP-3 are as follows: - The largest commission reward of $22,732 was credited to a partner from Western Asia, account number 1645XXX. - The next is a partner from South Asia, account number 1682XXX, who received $5,224. - Finally, rounding out the top three is their compatriot, account number 1565XXX, who was rewarded with $3,614.   ***   As we conclude this month, it is important to note that NordFX clients now have yet another excellent opportunity to enhance their financial portfolio. In the 2024 super lottery, 202+4 cash prizes totaling $100,000 will be awarded. Participating in the lottery and securing a chance to win one or even several of these prizes is quite simple.

    • Со временем которое осталось, да скорее все так и может быть, но лучше будет постараться дойти до 6-го уровня, то есть довести дело до конца, а после и расслабиться. Хотя даже так увы нет никаких гарантий, что это может нам что-то принести, но будем надеяться, что 6 лвл будет иметь весомое значение при раздаче.
