"look everyone is using custodial lightning so we should embrace that" makes me feel sick. I always thought this was a temporary measure until we had better wallets, TIL the plan now is to embrace it fully for mass onboarding.

We're working with a few partners to try an alternative approach. If it fails then it fails, but at least I can sleep at night knowing we tried.

Mass onboarding into custody seems like a disaster without a really good non-custodial offboarding plan.

What’s the end goal? Easy payment options that just work, complete sovereignty, some mix of the two?

I’m personally ok with running my own node, but I’ve had custodial wallets that I kept the amount of sats I was comfortable losing in.

Node managing can be a bit of a pain. I’m not sure having someone do it for you for small amounts to zap with is so bad.

There is a plan that makes sense but i have to try it before i can vouch for it. No you shouldn’t have to run a node.

Hopefully it works out. Good luck.
