yeah but there are very few local businesses I would be comfortable opening channels with.

not because they are unreliable but because they don't understand the infrastructure.

and can you imagine trying to figure out the LN policy of larger companies and dealing with customer service if they close on you?

I find it hard to believe

at this point anyway

that every business is going to employ a LN node manager.

more likely they just outsource it

if theyre offering LN payment at all.
