Why are async payments not the lightning priority what could possibly be more important

isn’t that what we need for self custodial mobile zaps

Working on it!

It’s a real question. Async payments are the missing piece, right?

A big one for sure

they can do that

when I first wrote hedgehog, it could do asynchronous payments, but only if you had a direct channel with someone

then I implemented a protocol that allows hedgehog nodes to "route" asynchronous payments over a series of hedgehog channels, which has a lot of huge benefits

recently, however, I realized that the protocol I implemented only allows users to have one routed payment "pending" at a time, and they can't really use their wallet anymore until it resolves

I think I've thought of a way to fix that but I am not sure and I haven't started implementing it yet either
