"Lightning fails in about 30% of the time." ?!?!? We run some of the biggest and most central nodes on Lightning and see extremely low failure rates. Are you sending Lightning payments with a potato?...
Normal business owners are reporting in public 25% failure rates in the real world using Square. Is Jack Dorsey and incompetent idiot doing something very wrong? I am not as smart as Jack Dorsey, nor am I a billionaire. I do not think I could implement a better LN point of sale terminal integration than Square has. I don’t know if anyone could do better.
Maybe everyone reporting these major LN problems are liars in a secret conspiracy against Lightning. But otherwise, bartenders, baristas, and people serving food seem to have widespread problems using *the most deployed LN vendor software in the world* made by a *billionaire developer who has funded Nostr and Lightning extensively*. If Lightning is so complicated that only some fringe service virtually nobody beyond hardcore Bitcoiners on Nostr can use, maybe the protocol itself is flawed when you operate it at scale.
