withdrew 12k sats from SN into Phoenix wallet.

fees to open channel were 3k sats. holy crap. it’s only intended to be a one time transaction. i’m not keeping that channel open.

why is Lightning encouraged for one-off payments at all? in cases where you don’t need a channel, Lightning is totally the wrong solution, no?

Maybe fedimint or cashu ( #[1]​ ) can abstract this away in the future and make things make sense lol. but pushing people into Lightning for one-off payments never made sense to me. and this just confirmed it for me again
