LNM is really killing it with these newsletters. I wonder what time commitment they're giving to them ... It's clearly worth it from a marketing angle - I wouldn't be aware of them otherwise.

For LN onion routing, I find a visual approach to understanding it a bit easier. This video by Rene is quite short (10m) and does an excellent job covering both HTLCs and onion routing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toarjBSPFqI.

From the newsletter:

This article is the first (out of two) concerning Onion Routing. It is also the first of the Routing Series, where I'll try to cover in depth how routing works in the Lightning Network, and how it could work differently (ever heard this story about an ant jumping on a trampoline?). This article is an introduction to Onion Routing, and offers a "high level" view of how it works. The second article will go deeper into the inner workings of Onion Routing in the Lightning Network.
