Fun fact from #hcpp24:

I asked one of the crew how many payments during the conference she would estimate have been done via #LightningNetwork vs #Monero. She said about 30% XMR, but that she wished everyone used Lightning, because of how slow the Monero payments are.

Point of Sale is just bad UX for anything taking longer than a few seconds. Only really committed merchants will tolerate that, and even then it's rough for them.

LN is notorious for failed payments.

They couldn't even get it to work on a custodial LN app that Trump was trying to pay with. It was painful to watch.

Guess we all have things to improve

You must not be using it much. I haven't had a payment fail in 2 years or so, and I did thousands since then. Including large ones from time to time. Never having issues.

And that's using s a fairly small node, not some large provider with massive routing capacity, both in liquidity and connections.
