Yes phoenix runs on their (Acinq's) implementation called Eclair. This is a very reliable and easy to use setup. But if you want to self host some good channels to highly connected peers (like the Acinq node) really help with reliability. Also Tor really makes things unreliable, which is a Tor problem, not a Lightning problem as you could run everything on clearnet too.
Retarded take, there are well engineered lightning wallets for end users, but a pure lightning node like CLN or LND needs to expose the raw stuff and is not built for ease of use in regards to simple payments. Its built as a powerful tool to interact with the lightning network in all possible ways. Saying CLN is not user friendly enough is like saying the back end software of your bank is not user friendly enough (which they hire engenieers for)
No, I bought a domain and host Satdress on a VPS (lnaddress.com) to use a Lightning address fully self controlled. Domains are cheap (like $10/year) but its some work to set everything up.
I got paid out recently after repeatedly contacting nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch and nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 since the hackathon. It's a shame they didn't pay out everyone like promised. Shouldn't have made that huge price promises from the beginning.
But Hard Yaka also invests in Shitcoins, so no wonder they act unhonest.
It's useful because it's always online, so you can self host a Lightning address for example. Otherwise non custodial mobile wallets are good enough, probably even better for simple send/receive
2tb is like $80 nowadays and 1tb is still enough for the coming years
🤡🤡🤡
How many channels, good peers?
If you have 3 small channels to shitty raspberry pi Tor nodes it will be unreliable. But the problem in this case is the user, not Lighting. If you want reliable, fast and self custodial Lightning try Phoenix.
Its becoming more expensive, but a $200 used thinkpad is more than enough to run a bitcoin + ln node without issues
Printing orange stuff...
the chances of randomly stumbling across nostr frens on other parts of the internet are never 0 nostr:npub1z9n5ktfjrlpyywds9t7ljekr9cm9jjnzs27h702te5fy8p2c4dgs5zvycf 
Guess we don't get Tor support 😆
Bisq could probably get much more users if it was
a) cheaper to use, as small transactions are way too expensive on chain to stack regularly
b) available as standalone mobile app
There is https://market.nostr.com/
But wouldn't call it Alibaba competitor yet.
More than necessary, smart cars bring so much more comfort and benefits but closed source basically enables the government and hackers to assassinate the driver on the press of a button.
The world we were born in and thought to be normal is nothing but an experiment.
And it failed badly.
Wouldn't even call it experiment as fiat has been tried too often already in history, more like a phase of advanced slavery
Ok seems like this exists already. If I get this in our school's slack I will try to orange pill 200 C/C++ devs
Has anybody built a Lightning tip bot for Slack yet?
I noticed that routing only happens actively with a clearnet node and bigger channels (at least for my setup), otherwise there always was few routing activity
