Yeah I understand how they work with other blockchains, but lightning isnt a chain and in order to turn off a persons coin, they would need to know where it ended up. Do they end up freezing a channel balance? a portion of it? what about the nodes that helped facilitate the txn?

If they do have less privacy then lightning then im even more interested in how it works from a technical perspective. I need to look into it.

Just wondering out loud. Still never using it. If there are no consequences though, and routing the payments stacks sats ... might still do that
