Yep but people don’t know this 😆

It makes the experience feel slower and buggier
It's probably their integration with strike. Amethyst waits until the ln transaction fully completes and the receiver sends the zap receipt, which sometimes does take seconds. Strike's API is instant because the service keeps retriyng until it finishes. They probably run the animation before they receive confirmation from lightning. 🤔
Can we run animation before completing or are you not a fan of this because of possible false “confirmation” of zap?
Ln fails a lot less these days, but yes: Completing something before you receive confirmation seems confusing. 🤔
Yeah, tough decision. On one hand, it would feel less buggy if something happens instantly as people are used to reactions being instant. On the other hand.. what you said.
Any ideas on why LN is failing? is it a failure to map a route? liquidity? Such a great concept I really wanna see it succeed.
Yep, sometimes it can be as simple as lightning nodes being too busy with other transactions. Not being centralized means that each receiver offers their own reliability levels.
