coinbase supports over 100 shitcoin chains natively but had to outsource their lightning implementation

you might think this is because coinbase is retarded but actually it's because lightning is retarded

Could you please explain further why you think lightning is retarded? Too complex? Everyone can’t have a channel?

Idk if utxo will explain but I keep saying this, it can't be self hosted. Lightning is one of those things that uses "self hosting" as a euphemism for "using a server you control." It's not an actual p2p proof of work cryptocurrency like bitcoin

ask anyone who has tried to run an ln node how much sats they lost learning it, especially non-techies

Yeah, I ran an LND node on Umbrel for the whole period where Phoenix left the USA. Not fun. I didn’t lose any sats but it was a pain in the ass, and not worth it imo. As soon as Phoenix came back I went back to that and I’ll probably eventually switch to Ark. The Arkade.money PWA wallet seems cool so far but too early for a daily driver.
