I will include this in other notes later, admitting that this is why Lightning has no penetration in darmarkets.

Man there are a lot of notes to include. tbh your list is essentially just cherry picked stuff that you care to talk about. what about transaction amounts? I can send any amount I want on Monero. Ln I'm confined by the channel sizes on the route to my destination. what about assurance? because Monero is an l1 it's designed to function in the open. with ln I don't know if my protection is broken because the routing nodes are colluding to share information. and about a thousand other things too. I think your intention here is good, but making a list like this is more the subject of an essay, rather than a short nostr post. we can and should compare these two tools, but because they're not of the same category of thing it isn't easy. and I do think the phrasing around mining and " unlimited supply " is misleading.
