Lightning Network seems very confusing. It's unclear to a casual user what "capacity" is and what it means to them. Or what any of this means, really.

I don't think the end user needs to know anything about capacities or other technical details the same way a user doesn't need to know their internet speed.

The end user experience will be having a hot wallet in your computer/phone or online service like coinbase that will handle all the routing, channel setup, etc for you. Like when you use bittorrent you don't need to manually connect to peers, the bittorrent client handles that for you.

I found this article very helpful in explaining generally what happens in the lightning network. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/02/bitcoins-lightni...
