An error message in #Phoenix shows why my grandma can't and never will use bitcoin or lightning.

Why are these freaks building these apps just for nerds or devs?

Get a good designer and build apps that hide that cryptic data-detail-garbage only developers can understand.

Is it so hard to think like a normal enduser and realize a simple non-distracting frontend like e.g. wechat, whatsapp or WoS?

But maybe your granny is like

That is exactly how evil I imaging this developers. šŸ˜

But maybe they are all just bad designers.

Imaging being a normie and recognizing something like 'LSP' or 'Electrum server' in your wallet-app settings.

EACH user I set up on lightning asks me what that shit means.

Haha, maybe one day your LSP will be as known as an ISP, but as a nice german word like "Blitz-Anbieter" 😜

I’m wondering about the same. Bitcoiner want #Hyperbitcoinization but then build complicated stuff and excuse this with saying that people need to take their shit in their own hands and study Bitcoin and Lightning to use it.

That’s naive to think. It just won’t happen quickly. That can take generations to happen.

If you want Hyperbitcoinization quicker than these apps need to be idiot proof and easy to use. When people have Bitcoin they automatically will learn more about it.

I don’t want to study a car motor before I can drive a car. I want to drive that car and then can study the motor if it fascinates me.

But to be clear in the end I agree that people need to study Bitcoin and understand the fundamentals. It just will take a lot of time.
