Learning Notes | Lightning Network
① Segregated Witness (SegWit) fixed the transaction malleability problem, which is one of the important prerequisites for the secure operation of the Lightning Network.
② Two parties without a direct channel can still make payments along a route through other nodes. Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs) ensure that the nodes along the route cannot withhold the funds.
③ Lightning wallets are better suited to everyday small payments. For long-term Bitcoin storage, an on-chain wallet whose private keys you control is safer.
