I just sent someone some bitcoin on LN for a pizza. He downloaded a Lightning wallet for that.
We discussed a bit about Lightning and the question came up if Lightning Swaps (LN to onchain) are trustless.
I said I actually don't know so that's a very good question.
Are they?
deezy is trusted. boltz is trustless and open-source.
reply
Depends. Some are trustless, some are not.
reply
Ah, so it's at least possible.
Trustless? what do you mean by that? You have to trust the lightning wallet to send the bitcoin. otherwise, what does it mean? you have the phone not to spy on you. you have to trust the NSA not to steal your private keys.
reply
Trust the other person to send me BTC onchain.
reply
you trust the liquidity provider
