How much on-chain efficiency does Lightning actually bring today?

That's close to a 10000x reduction in on-chain footprint. Pretty nice efficiency gain!

We are removing

On May 3rd, 2024,
@PhoenixWallet

Users from the US should empty their wallet:
- Settings > Close channels (Android)
- Settings > Drain wallet (iOS)
We highly recommend *not force-closing* channels, as on-chain fees could be significant.

Sure! It's easy: Eclair Mobile is a very popular LN wallet, and is non-custodial. Your keys, your Bitcoins.
Custodial wallets are convenient, until they censor your transactions or get hacked.
Want to educate Roger,
@acinq_co
?
AFAIK, the Eclair mobile wallet for Android (one of the most popular) is non custodial - in that you control your own keys
Roger is badly informed (or deliberately ignorant) about Lightning

If this was just a random joe's newletter we would ignore as mostly misinformed. We mainly know
@alexbosworth
for his BOS score, an "opaque" proprietary scoring system where the ACINQ node appears to be blacklisted. AFAWK he never contributed anything to the LN specs.
So
@alexbosworth
doesn't understand the Lightning Spec process. I thought Lightning Labs had been so quiet in the last two years because (1)
@roasbeef
is the only one there who's allowed to do spec stuff (2) profitability lead them to pivot to proprietary centralized offerings.

However the excerpt below is inaccurate. Neither is LND the reference implementation, nor is

Labs maintaining the BOLTs repository. The LN specification is a community effort, in which Lightning Labs is one of the actors.

Today Lightning is small enough to fly under the radar but make no mistake, as it grows, the no-KYC free lunch will come to an end. We work on non-custodial solutions, not because we like complexity, but because it will be needed in the future

(3) how much of lnd market share is due to the name squatting on twitter/github and the constant confusion between Lightning and Lightning Labs? 💯with Rusty there.
Lightning Labs has claimed ownership of the Lightning network in many ways: I've been reluctant to call them out in public. But the lightning network and community deserves better.
They didn't implement it first, they didn't implement it best. Their community is great though!

Thanks! Indeed reliability, scalability and performance are our main focus.
Eclair is actually a pretty decent node implementation.
- Low on features, but robust
- Runs on most platforms
- Good API support and documentation
- Great event support
Application developers should be paying more attention to it IMO.

Probably more like 20-25% of the actual Lightning Network's capacity, impossible to tell.
Also you only control the funds on your side of channels. Could be 10-15%.
