How to Understand the Lightning Network \ stacker news ~bitcoin

Howdy Stackers, Cowboy F here.

I've admittedly been lazy with my studies, and I don't understand the lightning network at all, even though I pretend like I do. I have read a couple guides trying to explain how it works (Mostly DarthCoin's guides, but his grammar and spelling are so terrible that it completely distracts me from learning) -

Anyone have any good, well written and clear-to-understand Lightning Network guides that would help to form a deep understanding?

Thanks all

This is also an excellent link. This site helped me a lot when I was setting up my node.

Do you understand the general idea ?

Just run DarthCoin's guides through ChatGPT for grammar and style, but don't tell him. Of course I'm kidding. I actually like DathCoin's guides. I find them useful from a first you do this, then you do that standpoint. For more conceptual learning, check out Andreas Antononopoulos' Mastering The Lightning Network." Just be prepared to work hard. It gets technical quickly.
