On Custodial #Lightning Adoption in #Nostr.

1. It is impressive just how easy custodial #Lightning wallets have become. #[0] accounts for a majority of zaps on #Nostr because setup is effortless and it "just works". Credit where credit is due.

2. Noncustodial #Lightning is critical to the future of financial freedom and the overwhelming populatity of custodial wallets, even if used for pocket change, threatens this future. We cannot become complacent.

We need to lift up these noncustodial experiences to the bar of ease set by the wallets that users prefer. The best way to do that is by providing constructive feedback to developers and contributing code.

Shaming other Bitcoiners because WoS made a kick ass UX is not productive. Instead, lets hold all #Lightning wallets to the standard of the current best in class experience.

The main hurdle is owning bitcoin and securing a node.

it would have to be something like a spending node, hosted on a mobile device, easily linked to a trusted LN node, that can only sign tx with an external device like a tapsigner or a Coldcard nfc.

And then you'd need some way to use up dirty fiat to get funded.
