The Lightning network is too complicated. Running a lightning node is almost impossible for a shop owner and his customers without the help of an expert.
As a result, ordinary people will use the nodes of large companies to use lightning, and this is in conflict with the philosophy of lightning as a decentralized network.
Lightning is for nerds, not ordinary people .
Well said Mr Saeed with a getalby LN address…
It seems I should have added lazy nerds to the list😅
It's not though. I have Zeus, it's a full lightning node on my phone. It doesn't require a complex setup. Users can choose from a range of LSPs, the tech continues to improve. I agree absolutely that we should always be pushing for better UX, especially for merchants since a transaction network with <1% fees is truly a killer app for them if we can make it easy to use.
