It will be less simple but we don’t want to have to KYC people. If non-custodial mobile wallets can’t figure out always-on sends/receives, the application ecosystem will be dystopic. I’m optimistic though. We’ll be in a better position to chip in when we stop taking this shortcut and I care enough about SN, things like it, and the problems that we’re trying to solve that I’m willing to die trying.

Blixt seems to be pretty darn close to having it figured out. I have an LNURL with them now, its an always on LND node on mobile, and I got huge inbound from LNBig.
Only problem is, I think LNBig doesn't have good routes or something. Can't send or receive from several exchanges or payment gateways. So I don't know if it needs better route discovery or I just need a better inbound node. At that point its just a matter of getting the button layout right.
Besides its always on noncustodial to "figure it out" custodial being a norm is a road to pain and failure.
Hey, while I'm here, let's activate a softfork that enables LNsymmetry and vtxo timeout trees like LNHance or APO would enable. Oh Tony. I know you already know. We just gotta educate our fellow node runners. nostr:note1hz4l9jyq4u5jrs23sgxvghlc9lx8ujaqf6wjvj5e4kpvdg5rxmfq62wlq8
