The drivechain security model is much better than Lightning's.

Lightning:

  • fails if a 51% hashrate coalition interferes with your channel
  • the 51% hashrate does not suffer any costs by attacking

In DC, it is more profitable for greedy miners to maintain the deposit/withdrawal. So that they can farm the chain for free merged mining revenues. -- https://drivechain.info/blog/fees/

And that is just a comparison on DCs weakest point. In every other way -- routing, hot wallet, sensitivity to L1 fees -- LN is much much worse.

The LN model is just bad. Altcoins usually copy Bitcoin's ideas... if they are good. Many coins use Bip39 -- many coins use HD wallets -- many coins have block explorers -- many coins use addresses -- many coins use ZK -- many coins use the UTXO model. When ethereum invented the EVM -- many coins copied it. Copying = good.

But no Altcoin copies Bitcoin's LN because they can all tell that it is just garbage.

Lightning is hot-wallet risk generally, that's the trade-off for speed and granularity, which inherently requires interactivity and nothing solves that... fake L2's devs shilling Ark/Spark are learning this the hard way.

51% attacks can break any number of things, the same incentive applies to both DC and LN in a 51%, that a theft of that scale renders what you've stolen worthless.

Generally a counter signal.

BIP39 is terrible, not even Core uses it, yet it's responsible for more coin theft than anything.

EVM is straight up moronic

no Altcoin copies Bitcoin's LN

Because no altcoin is worth transacting frequently, granularly, or is valuable enough that transactions need to be re-used.

Your appeal to shitcoiners wisdom speaks volumes.
