I spend a lot of time just trying to send myself sats over Lightning. Lol

The noncustodial experience is dogshit. I wouldn't count on any of it as a replacement for my current fiat payment methods.

Using on chain is usually impractical, especially for many small payments.

I don't see the point if I'm just using centralized Lightning services anyway. I'm better off saving the fees/tax accounting headaches by just spending fiat.

I know this is unpopular and inconsistent with the hype, but I'm being honest.

Noncustodial Lightning sucks. eCash has been an even worse experience.

I'm sure things will improve, but there are far too many people kidding themselves. This shit would be a nightmare for merchants and customers if it were actually used broadly in a noncustodial way.

Have you tried Alby Hub? I lived off my self-custodial lightning wallet spending bitcoin for a month in El Salvador without a single failed payment. (Accomodation, food, groceries, bitdriver etc)

No, but it's on my list now as a potential option.
