You are new to Bitcoin and want to start using LN also. But all the terminology for you is new and quite technical. But is very important to read before start to run a LN node for example. LN is a new concept because is a payment system network and there are many ways to use it.
Don't start by listening some random YT videos or podcasts presenting you some quick crap tutorial about using a custodial LN account or a Phoenix wallet... That is only 1% of what really is LN and you will never know how to use it if you stick just to watch YT videos.
Don't be lazy and only use a custodial LN account without knowing what you are doing. Knowledge is power !
Example of today: Do you know how many types of channels exist in LN?
Anchor channel, Taproot channel, private and public channel, sidecar channel, zombie channel, wumbo channel etc.... and how and when to use these types of channel?
Here are some definitions:
Anchor channel
Anchor channels are an optional feature (feature bits 20, 21, 22 & 23) for Lightning nodes such as LND. When unilaterally an anchor channel it is possible to increase the fees of this closure transaction according to market requirements by joining an extra UTXO. When enabling anchor channels in LND, it is required to keep at least 10k satoshis per channel with a maximum of 100k satoshis in the on-chain wallet.
Commitment fee
A commitment transaction needs to include an adequate network fee to ensure it gets confirmed when the channel is unilaterally closed. This fee is typically paid by the initiator of the transaction. Anchor channels allow for this commitment fee to be very small, as it can be increased at a later point using additional UTXOs.
Turbo channels (Zero-conf channels)
A turbo channel is a channel that is accepted without confirmations on the bitcoin blockchain. This requires trust in the party opening the channel to not double-spend the channel opening transaction. This trust may be gained by opening the channel from a 2-of-2 multisignature address held by the opening party and a co-signer trusted with not signing a double-spend transaction. Turbo channels are commonly used in mobile wallets and merchant services to allow users to immediately receive and send funds over the Lightning Network without having to wait for a channel to confirm on the blockchain.
