Your uninformed and uneducated on the topic apparently Maybe you tried it like a year or 2 ago lol But it’s different now Anyways I’m done letting you ruin my morning Bye
💯 I've got a couple friends into Bitcoin. For their purposes, saving, lightning isn't really necessary, on chain is all they need. Hopefully it gets better with time.
Zeus's built in node is quite a nice balance for sovereignty and convenience. Blixt too. Full LND only gives some marginal additional utility, but set up is quite easy these days particularly with Olympus as an LSP. You can get as in the weeds as you want or keep it simple.
