If this LND bullshit keeps up, I'm going to give up and use nostr:npub17p5tzzhecgvpj7vxulra5svqmypckhvzzycu3dp5awjxy252r4wqt6xe4n lmao.

Do you mean you have a technical issue with lnd or just lightning labs politics?
Issues, and lots of them as of late lmao.
looked back over your notes to see you're using lnd embeded in zeus. probably can't help with that I'm afraid
The issue with slow payments is probably that your node is making lots of failed attempts. Since unlike in phoenix, you have to route the payments yourself, your node has to try an fail in order to learn good paths. lnd will remember the good and bad paths for next time though so hopefully that helps.
I think mutiny does it better since they provide a pruned view of the network for their users with their gossip sync. lnd does have a hacky version of a gossip sync that blixt and zeus use (it's called the speedloader irc) but it would probably not be trivial to do what mutiny does and add probing information to that.
maybe a mission control speedloader can be developed in the future nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 ?
I've seen a self-custody LN address on Mutiny's profile; if that's a new feature anyone using Mutiny has, there is no reason for me whatsoever to use ZEUS anymore.
Don't want to keep "losing" money when something fucks up, and it's not FULLY my fault.
Switch to core-lightning
What LND bullshit?
I've been having issues with long node initialization preventing what should be quick payment, and attempted troubleshooting of that resulted in my finding of either a bug or security feature in the app where I got booted back to the startup screen after removing a PIN I had (I still had biometrics enabled).
THAT led to me having to force close my Lightning channel by reinstalling ZEUS. Self-custody is fun. :^)
There’s a time trade off if you want privacy but we’re working on faster solutions if you don’t mind it in future releases
I'm looking forward to see how ZEUS improves itself, while also acknowledging that the node issues are primarily to blame on LND.
Having to take a loss AND wait for my Lightning funds to return on-chain, however, is never fun.
