Just because you don't know how to use it does not mean that it is bad. Just a bad argument.

What part did I get wrong?
That you need bitcoin to receive bitcoin take was kind of amusing.
TRUE. But let's keep peeling that onion to gather more nuance. How much Bitcoin does it take to start receiving on LN? What is an economically rational amount? Does that amount fluctuate ever? What non-monetary economics enter the picture when receiving LN for the first time? What's the cost for node uptime? As the purchasing power increases, how do these amounts affect individuals ability to utilize LN?
zero.
zero.
huh.
subjective.

Weak.
You started with a subjective statement. Just trying to quantify it.
If I send you my node's ID, you willing to send me 21 sats after opening a channel to my node? Why or why not?
You are moving the goal post. Originally you said wallet, now you say node. Which is it?
For LN how do you separate them?
Legitimate question. I am unaware of how LN separates wallets from nodes.
I am not going to teach you the basics without being paid, I am sorry. Good luck man.
Use mutiny if you want idfk figure it out lol. Everyone is different stop looking for a one size fits all. thats so fucking dumb.
Mutiny runs an LDK node on your device.
Lightning is awesome.
cool use that then
Nah. They don't support Cashu yet.
Thnx for the banter this morning. Was a good Friday warm up.
I honestly found it to be a waste of time considering you just asked troll questions and didn't even make a simple thesis statement or argument, but whatever.
But we learned where your understanding ends.

I will tell you what I do know. I used to know nothing. And then you know what I decided? I decided to learn. And now I use the lightning network for literally everything in my life unless it requires an ACH payment (like paying my mortgage). So when I see people like you, who just try to gaslight me, even though I have been using lightning for the vast majority of expenses for nearly 5 years now, I really think that people like you do nothing but bring the space down. Aspiring cypherpunk? The cypherpunks would vomit in terror at you.
And now we've devolved to ad hominem arguments.😑
I'm glad LN has worked for you. It won't work for everyone like that. Not yet. In time, I believe it will. Ignoring it's shortcoming because you have a bias doesn't serve anyone well.
Also appreciate any work you may be doing at voltage (assuming you work there based on NIP05).
I am not a marketer. If people want to learn how to use it, great. If not, don't make excuses and don't gaslight people who learned how to use it.
And also Voltage has a nostr toolkit that is available for free, just gotta make account and you can get the '@vlt.ge' for your own node whether it is on voltage or not.
