Self custodial lightning is not broken, Pheonix wallet works perfectly.

However, noobs do not appreciate, and are therefore unwilling to pay for their own privacy and sovereignty.

We must use any tools we have which get noobs as close as possible while being as cost effective as possible until they have used and understand Bitcoin enough to then value their privacy and sovereignty.

I wouldn't say it works "perfectly" Bob

is there a way for self custodial lightning to work if one of the parties is offline?

Yes, try nostr:npub1cm3rpgj7457yjuqnvdalxaauakqu0ndkpkyp5cldkyutpz4xszpsmk96wt, I even translated the wallet to Portuguese Brazilian. It's a Spark wallet but with lightning compatibility.

If you test, let me know what you think.

He said self custodial

Spark is maybe-self-custodial, depends on whether the operator repeatedly deletes his keys as he promises to do

Zeus wallet uses my zaplocker protocol to get close to this in a lightning compatible way

Matt Corallo also has a spec for this that is better than zaplocker, but it is not adopted yet

See also my hedgehog protocol -- that's not lightning though

Good point. Maybe perfect was too strong a word. "Optimally"?

Btw I enjoyed your hedge hog demo at BHB
