Through even a single LN channel you can pass through an infinite number of sats / txs.
Just think about that.
Even SN can be a nice way to "coinjoin" your sats...

Read @DarthCoin's guides!!!

The question is, will we have opportunity to send our sats to mainnet?
reply
I think you do not understand what is LN and how it works.
LN IS on mainnet. Is actually just not-yet broadcast onchain txs.
reply
Xactly. My intermediate level of English doesn't give me a chance to describe what I want.
I know that LN is 2of2 multisig under the hood. I wanted to know about opportunity to broadcast it
reply
The fact that it is a 2-of-2 multisig is relevant only because the UTXO - that is actually the channel - must be spendable only if both parties agree on that or some other conditions are verified (like in force closure).
The onchain broadcasting actually happens automatically once you or the counterparty decide to close the channel, which can happen whenever you need to (that is the game theoretical assumption behind the security model of LN and the reason why it is actually a self sovreign protocol).

What do you mean by that?
If you mean swapping Bitcoin on Lightning for Bitcoin onchain, that service already exsists e.g. from https://boltz.exchange/

No. Not like that.
Use the 3 levels stash method: hodl, cache, spending (LN).
So sats from SN you should pass them through a cache level or swap service, then into a hodl wallet.

Many thanks Darth

When you have a LN channel you are only using the UTXO of the host and you. As you go back and forth those sats don't go anywhere.
When you close you may get some of those host sats or the host gets yours. So it's not really mixing but it's obfuscation and time locks.
