Nostr Web Client

Everything built on top of Bitcoin are experiments and i agree. Startups with 99% chance of failure. However, LN is not just good for Nostr, almost 6000 BTC committed into the protocol, thousands of nodes, merchant network is also growing while at infancy, a growing number of Bitcoin companies with their business models depending on LN to succeed and a sovereign nation using it.

If LN has critical errors, then competent devs should join forces and focus on improving on what is already built rather than build or improve communication protocols.

I agree, but I don't want to be head strong about lightning. It might be scalable if enough brilliant people work on it, but as long as lightning hasn't scaled it might someday be replaced by something more efficient.

Then you will also agree for the same possible fate regarding Nostr.

I just believe that scaling Bitcoin payments is a priority over communication and LN while probably flawed is still a beautiful idea worth the time of all the many brilliant devs i see everyday on Nostr.

Incentives and consistency matter, but differently for each protocol.
