What’s the deal with nostr:npub1ajlrwgfj4yerhqf7ady03h7wmtk2qr3gs7h3sxcx83k05yld36sswpzx3q and why does anyone like it?
I’ve personally seen two people in the past month attempt to pay a Lightning invoice with it and it failed both times. The worst part was it said the payment had completed on the sender’s side but the recipient never got paid. After the invoice expires, the sender eventually gets notified and the sats are returned to their wallet, but it can take 24 hours. Meanwhile, the merchant either loses a sale or the customer has to pay using another method while waiting for their automatic refund.
This is a frustrating experience both for retail customers and merchants, and it’s things like this that are going to kill Lightning adoption.
Never happened to me. But if it did to you in some case it is an improvement point, not a reason to write off the app completely and blame it for damaging the entire cause.
Some likeable people built it. That is how you choose the product when you don't know how to build it yourself.
I write off things all the time when they don’t work. I don’t care how “likeable” anyone who created the product is. I have firsthand experience with two different merchants and customers and that’s a much more important factor in my decision-making process.
There are situations where I take the factor you prefer, too. But I was just answering your question why anybody likes it at all. Not saying there are no other factors.
Offtopic: people are always the most important everywhere. You are putting yourself at a disadvantage when you don't care in any way about any likeable people. Just saying the phrase "don't care if smb is likeable" is harsh and self harming. Not saying the product must be best or liked at all.
Sorry to pick on you, I don't mean to lecture you. I mean to lecture all the kids reading this.
It’s not that I don’t care in any way. It’s that there are plenty of likeable people who have built shitty products. Ideally you get both, but in a situation where a high failure rate can have a potentially disastrous effect, likability alone won’t get you very far.
