I just sent someone some bitcoin on LN for a pizza. He downloaded a Lightning wallet for that.

We discussed a bit about Lightning and the question came up if Lightning Swaps (LN to onchain) are trustless.

I said I actually don't know so that's a very good question.

Are they?

Depends. Some are trustless, some are not.

reply

Ah, so it's at least possible.

Trustless? what do you mean by that? You have to trust the lightning wallet to send the bitcoin. otherwise, what does it mean? you have the phone not to spy on you. you have to trust the NSA not to steal your private keys.

Trust the other person to send me BTC onchain.

Example: https://swap.deezy.io/
