Lightning-Network VS lnbook

The main problem in my mind with the Lightning network is that in order increase transaction speed, it is reducing the decentralization by requiring participants to trust the other network operators that they create channels with. For the lightning network to really scale to a global payment system, we would need large central hubs for the payments to route through and you would end up with a poor imitation of the centralized banking system that bitcoin is attempting to avoid.

This page is a good collection of issues and criticisms of LN: https://github.com/davidshares/Lightning-Network

Bitcoin specifically, transactions times and the layering, in essence the lightning network, has been a failure amid many embarrassing risks (some of which allowing for the possibility of a contract being intercepted). https://github.com/davidshares/Lightning-Network amounts to absolutely not being an effective currency system from the get go. An absolute waste of energy. Deflationary by design meaning a disincentive to sell baked into it. The volatile value means a completely undesirable means of exchange.

Lightning network is an off-chain L2 solution, not bitcoin. Also terribly unreliable and vulnerable: https://github.com/davidshares/Lightning-Network

And I'm listing literally just a few issues. There's a more comprehensive list here.

p.s.: if you're unfamiliar with these terms, I suggest you read the How the Lightning Network works chapter of Mastering The Lightning Network by Andreas Antonopoulos. It's not too technical and if you have a basic understanding of Bitcoin, you won't have any trouble reading it.

Mastering the lightning network

You can read all about it here if you are interested: https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook/blob/develop/12_path_finding.asciidoc

I don't know about videos, but if you want to go technically deep, good start is Mastering Bitcoin (https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook) followed by Mastering the Lightning Network (https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook)

Lnbook getting closer towards being finished and can already be seen at: https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook

No problem. If you want to deep dive into LN, there a free and open-source book here, the first few chapters explain a lot about this without being too technical, and the following one really go deeper: https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook/

I recommend you to read Mastering the Lightning Network, especially this chapter, which explains the basics of how the LN works.
