This is an oversimplification. LN transactions have much different properties than regular bitcoin transactions. Most notably, LN transactions require the user (or someone they trust) to be online in order to verify that they aren't being defrauded by someone broadcasting and earlier state of the payment channel.
- dmm 9y ago> require the user (or someone they trust) to be online in order to verify that they aren't being defrauded You're right but to clarify, the user getting online once a week or so is enough. They don't have to continuously be online.
