Note: If you're upgrading to Bitcoin v28, and LND v18.3, you may need to add this argument to your startup command for backwards compatiblity: -deprecatedrpc=warnings
See this for more information
Does LND still require RPC username and password?
Gross. How about the doctor not giving the treatment over money? How about the government regulation disallowing better health insurance coverage(because of distorted incentives)? How about the fact that a disease is what's killing you and someone not helping you is not the culprit? If a boulder falls on me and a guy doesn't help me lift it off before I am crushed, did he murder me? No, and it's not even close to murder. You people sound like trolley problem lever pullers.
Just advocacy or technical knowledge?
The Layer 1 footprint is negligible and will continue to be. The layer 2 channels would essentially be your way to receive and spend bitcoin. Eventually you have your asset on your lightning node, on-chain wallet. You'll have your savings channel, your spending/payroll channel, and any others you'd care to open. You open those ONCE to your transactional node (for balancing). Those, using taproot can be spliced when your wealth grows. We are talking about 3-5 transactions over your life most likely. The only entities that will have a bidding war on chain will be corporate commerce channels. All the plebs will have their channels established for years at that point. Covenants are FUD on layer 2.
Necessarily you need custodians for layer 3 scaling (credit) unless there is some feasible ruleset where credit principle can be reclaimed from the recipient in some sovereign way. Layer 2 can scale entirely sovereign such as in the case of Lightning. It just takes work or a benevolent company to FOSS streamline nodes, software, and guides start to finish.
A custodian takes control of your money and issues you a claim to it. Lightning is a collaboration but the custody of funds stays with the channel creator until settlement. While this is a claim(for the channel participant) it is the most secure way to secure a digital asset for future reclamation. Lightning is custodial not to a party but to a ruleset (just like layer one bitcoin).
BTCpay is not the easiest, best, or most used Lightning Node, or software. The reason most don't run a node is because they've been told it's too hard. I had never really used Linux before 3 years ago. THAT is harder than setting up or maintaining a node. A miniPC, Start9 node, Mynode, Umbrella software, and so many others make setup step by step simple. Most people can keep a computer on. Most people can copy/paste. Most people in Bitcoin know how to fund a node. Setting up Lightning channels are a matter of going to Amboss or 1ML and finding a good channel partner or make one with a friend.
The people who want perfect money to have an instant transactional layer but don't want to do those simple things don't deserve it. They deserve to get rugged by their custodian until they learn it's not hard at all.

Oh did I miss the time where email servers were produced by several companies at its advent? Or are you using an apples and oranges comparison?

No, I'm not. I am just not cherry picking things to make things sound worse than they were. The point was that issuing credit to someone who could become pregnant, not work, and have to take care of children was not financially sound. Men were allowed credit because they could be made to work to recoup all debt. There were reasons to these things that seem pointless or arbitrary. Something like the Chesterton's fence of gender rules.
Literally not true. Women couldn't incur debt. Meaning they couldn't get a mortgage. If they bought in cash they could buy anything they wanted.

I would just say that it must be in that order:
Abolish government, then public borders along with it. Those trying to abolish the government piecemeal starting with the border are fools. Entitlements, services, enforcement, THEN the border makes a stateless society. Rearrange any of those you create chaos. Either way, this is all a mental exercise because the governed never abolish the government. The only hope is a strong alternative to make the government obsolete and ineffectual.
Exactly. I mean is running a computer (or having one person in an entire friend/family group run one) just out of the realm of possibility to have a perfect asset made into instant, trustless, currency? Is running a node THAT hard?!
dude, my neighbor who was once a whole coiner, told me he wants to get more XRP to avoid the 40% correction in Bicoin after the bullrun. I don't understand and I can't convince him otherwise with straight facts.
All Christmas movies take place during Christmas. The reason Die Hard is a Christmas movie is because a man is going back home to be with his family. He also goes through some adversity to make a friend and be with his wife.
Yo guy. You are saying inaccurate things. With each post, I correct the inaccuracy. I didn't "Umm Akchtually" you here. I just know way too much about economics to just say that coin clipping and currency counterfeiting is the same thing. They literally are not. It does matter how debasement is achieved because with coinage you can just resmelt the coins. With counterfeiting you can't tell the valid from the invalid and you can't take away the printer. So it's not the same. And pretending it's the same is what is not helpful, peace.
