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.

Zeus has gotten quite painless as well.

And when Blixt finishes adding necessary features (like watchtowers) we'll really be cooking with gas.

I do want to set up an always on node so I can dispense with the use of cashu for zaps but my Knots machine is a raspberry pi and I really don't trust its horsepower. I do have LND running on it though, and was thinking of using it as a watchtower.

Part of the slowness is that its hard to appreciate a need for sovereignty when you're sending around a few hundred sats. Actually start buying and selling real goods and services though and custodial lightning seems insane.
