A question and an inconvenient truth about the Lightning Network.

Posted 7 months ago

As a new node runner I questioned myself from the very beginning about the “real” volume of Lightning Network. By “real” I mean the total transactions related to actual payments omitting those related to the re-balancing of the lighting channels themselves.

May be I should have utilized some AI tool because up to this moment I have no answer to my question. I speculate it must be a relatively small percentage but i found no evidence.

Nevertheless - as it often happens – google may not give your the answer you are searching for but on the road you may discover some gems.
One of them is the following article (from Mr Vlad Goryachev) which is certainly worth sharing here:

I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

Lastly, in case someone has an idea my initial question is still searching for an answer.
