 you have equivocated twice already in this discussion

first you say that LN is bad because "any cryptocurrency can do it" so why haven't they

why isn't there a monero lightning?

oh yeah, you love monero, explain this to me?

monero can't do lightning

next you say it's bad, then it's not bad that the code was changed

actually, it was pretty much bad because they made this "discount" feature for no reason in the "witness" and actually all of this could have been avoided by simply adding schnorr signatures which don't have malleability

this hole in the protocol, which i'm sure the proposers fully understood would make a hole, has led to spamming the chain and putting miners back in the fancy seat and ... conveniently, impacts greatly on the lightning network, which was just coming out at the time

so, tell me all about how you love bitcoin again?

you're a monero lover trying to inflict your disease on the healthy
