I never said we (humanity) won't be using lightning. Of course we will be. I said it's not the solution to scaling Bitcoin payments to individuals without large custodians.

Yes, I understand lightning will be the glue that connects all other networks. A wonderful settlement layer. Don't mistake my view as a disregard for the solutions that Lightning brings to payments.

Not if you want the future of payments to be self custodial.

Imo anyways.

Especially ones whose architecture already limits it's own UX quality without sufficient liquidity and uptime on performant hardware.

You remember that write up you did for lightning a few days ago?

I don't understand the desire to limit innovation to one standard...

Besides nostr isn't and shouldn't just be limited to Bitcoin stuff.

What do you want to run? You don't need a GPU for any particular systems unless you need a graphics for something you want to run. Most modern CPUs all have integrated graphics in CPU that will do the basics. All Intel's do except F series chips. Most recent AMDs are APUs as well.

For real though, I proposed we wewprk that nip entirely to be a "tips" Nip and not just limit to lightning. There should be as many possible top options as we can think of. Not just lightning. Like why isn't there a simple onchain tip nip, or liquid, cash tags, imagine the normies that don't use BTC yet but have cash app and how that can increase adoption, and as much as I dislike it, even shitcoins. If someone wants to tip me in shit, I'll gladly dump it for them. More sats for me.

Unless we wanna do a seperate nips for every payment method ever.

I'll be setting this same thing up on happytavern.co if you'd like to use my domain. I also have NIP5s available for only 10k and I'll back up all your notes on my relay including your nostr images uploaded with this tool at my domain. If you want some help or wanna talk through setting some of this stuff yourself, I'd be happy to hop on a call and answer any questions you have. I like to see people becoming more sovereign .

I'm not entirely sure how these dynamic channels work. No expert but I'm sure that it either doesn't have enough inbound (even if it says it does because it might need to hold some reserve amount) or a problem with finding a route. I'm also not sure if the nose is even online unless you're in the app, which might also present a problem. This is why self custody lightning is just not great.
