- ozmbie 9y agoBitcoin is the most popular with the most resources behind it, so it makes sense to leverage off it. There's nothing stopping similar networks occurring on other coins.
- VMG 9y agoYes, any coin that has segwit or a comparable fix for malleability can use lightning. Litecoin is already supported. You can even have atomic swaps between both over lightning channels.
