Ironically, NOSTR is shaping up to be a centralizing force for lightning.

I hope that I can be proved wrong on this.

Why would an individual set up a node to serve NOSTR use cases?

I’d like you to elaborate as well please. Why is NOSTR shaping up to be a centralizing force for lightning?

Almost exclusively custodial lightning wallets being used. I don't think Plebnet will be routing these zaps.

Ah, I see where you are coming from now. You’re most likely right.

Do you think there is a solution out there?

Graham Krizek from Voltage hinted that he might be able to help with this. Looking forward to seeing what he comes out with!

Wen Greenlight or is that vaporware?

Gotta ship the code! Without a release it might as well be vaporware.

Personally it doesn't excite me. I like how running a node yourself has layers of network effects, both social and financial.

Yeah I have a huge issue this with, as well.

There are WAY too many people using custodial lightning on nostr
