L2 Centralized will always work better
Lightning is fucking ass. I wasted 25k sats and 2 hours trying to empty my mutiny wallet. Why is it so complicated to make sure I don’t leave any dust behind? Why does a base to lightning swap not have a swap all funds option? I don’t blame them for giving up this shit sucks. How is lightning more expensive than base chain it doesn’t make sense. I’m just going to use WoS again. The total amount of sats I’ve burned trying to self custody lightning is less than the amount I hold on WoS anyway. I’d rather get rugged by WoS than continuously rug myself using lightning lmao. It’s fucking retarded I hope liquid squirts get integrated in nostr soon nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm
I’m really not convinced that bitcoin p2p is going to work on lightning. Normies aren’t going to deal with this shit they will just use custodial services. And I honestly think that's fine as long as your main stash is in cold storage. Maybe I’m wrong and some devs will find an amazing way to simplify lightning but I’m not holding my breath.

Of course! I don’t mind using an inferior solution to avoid getting rugged but it can’t be this bad lmao I lost way more money holding my own keys in lightning
It’s always about trade offs, everything has it.
This why I use alby and iPhone, also my own node. Don’t put the baby in the basket and throw it out with the bath water. Not sure if that makes sense
💯
The trade off to use custodial lighting is worth it as long as you have your main stash in cold storage
That's pretty much where I'm at.
This is the most reasonable thing to predict in the future imo. There might be a way to reduce some of the rug risk by creating a multisig setup similar to the liquid setup. The keys for your lightning wallet could be held by strike, coinkite, and mempool as an example. Unlikely that all of them would collude together to rug you.
Liquid is something I still need to look into, I've been gun shy after lightning losses.
Liquid is great. Once I move funds into liquid, I feel no anxiety. I don’t worry about fees or liquidity issues. The only thing is that it’s a little expensive to peg out but it’s totally worth it and still cheaper than lightning.
What are the best wallets for liquid?
I’ve only used green wallet but I heard a lot of great things about aqua.
