What do you need to see to consider lightning network a "success"? It's already running on mainnet, me and my friends have a lightning node. Much different than sharding which is not yet implemented (like all of ethereums big promises) |

I like the concept of LN, but I am unsure what kind of on/off-ramp fees (I am only worried if it's in the thousands of dollars or more) people might have to pay in order to increase the funds of their node - and more importantly open/close channels (because services for topping up will surely be much cheaper than opening/closing channels). I'm not worried about that now, but in the future once a large percentage of the world might be using it as their primary financial interface.
And lastly, a big concern for me is the legal situation of crypto and LN (LN separate because it's much more anonymous). While technically nobody can stop you from using LN, it would be much better if I could run my node and use it for the majority of my financial activity(including receiving salary).
If I've said something reminiscent of concern trolls, please note that I think that Bitcoin still has the greatest potential (over Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum).
P.S. I'd also like to know when we'll have a user-friendly, relatively bug-free (will never lose money) app for using LN. Or have I missed that?
