conclusion?
schnorr signatures solve the malleability problem
so how did segwit help lightning?

by eliminating malleability
if bitcoin had schnorr signatures this would have been solved for lightning, and we'd still have 1Mb blocks, instead fo kinda 4mb blocks, but really still 1mb we promise
anyone who thinks they know about bitcoin who doesn't understand this most fundamental issue about the signature algorithm and segwit and lightning should be ashamed of themselves
Discussion
i remember back then, i had a peripheral interest but deciding that segwit was shit, segwit2x was utter shit, and the best was schnorr but somehow that isn't how it panned out
bear this in mind:
i was released from prison after being caught dealing psychedelic drugs on the dark web in late 2014, i spent the next 2 years homeless, started to scrape myself up after discovering the steemit blockchain, i was teaching myself how to do devops with that codebase and docker, and this was when i just started learning Go (though i heard of it in late 2013) and about the time this was all happening i was busy trying to make money mining crypto with GPUs so i could focus myself on learning to build these things
