Because of the realities of the lightning network. It works best if you’re running a node on a box that is always online to accept inbound liquidity and to route payments. Trying to be some kind of lightweight node with bad/offline liquidity and relying is LSPs is so janky and will just lead to a worse experience vs running your own node. My lightning experience is insanely pleasant, it’s sad to see people try to use lightning the way it’s not meant to be used and getting frustrated when payments get stuck.
Discussion
Interesting. I’m just starting my lightning education. Turnkey solutions like voltage flow seem promising though turnkey almost never is. Or comes with serious trade offs not discussed in the sales material. Are you generally short LSP use?
Also I thought nostr:npub185h9z5yxn8uc7retm0n6gkm88358lejzparxms5kmy9epr236k2qcswrdp LDK is developed with mobile first in mind.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m at the connecting dots phase and these questions may be disparate or nonsensical
I have always been node running maxi but realize it’s not for everyone. This is why I contributed to CLN for a year or so and worked on libraries to make it easier to build lightning apps for CLN. I also am an advocate of using tech in the way that makes the most sense. Non custodial Lightning doesn’t make sense on mobile and I will die on this hill.
Have you tried the Phoenix wallet app yet? I love it so far.
Why? There’s no fundamental reason for that, just “the current tech sucks on mobile”.

Will BOLT-12 improve this? I’ve heard both yes and no from prominent voices in the dev space.
Do you use Phoenix wallet ever?
phoenix is what i use to send my saved up zaps to if it gets above a certain amount of sats
has worked great so far for using it, also to send zaps with back when i did nit have nwc setup for one tap zaps
Relies on a single server to work. I don’t feel good about that. It’s not hard for me to use my own node so i just use that. I also want a reliable connection anywhere I am, so I had to build an iOS app to achieve this. I’m not the average user 😅
This is true. The technical crowd can install graphene and try to do dyndns to a mobile, but even with ipv6, aren't mobile networks still blocking ingress (inbound) ports?
