The Wallet of Satoshi (npub1hcw…h9rq) team found a way to give Lightning users the features and experience we desired. In order to provide that experience they had to make technical tradeoffs which introduced counter party and regulatory risks. But they set the bar for UX nonetheless.
The Lightning protocol needs to evolve to a point where such tradeoffs aren’t necessary, and some really smart people are working hard to make that a reality.
I’m a fan of this team. When things get sorted, I’ll gladly return. 🤜🤛
