Really? Never been easier? You need like a course to wade through all this. Go with Breez. Wait they are in maintenance mode now. Mutiny shut down. Blue not for lightning anymore. Oh, and this was after trying to learn how with great, but old and lengthy, BTC Sessions videos (hats off to Ben for at least trying to teach all this time and to Daniella for her trying now). For a true BTC libertarian type how many privacy minded, open source, and self-custody options are there now. Especially for the Google boycotters - many require Google Play & FCM for notifications. Zeus seems great but the average person is still not going to set up a server. I've been trying hard to find the right setup, but not there yet. Oh, and as you pointed out this past week, AI bots are taking over and zapping for you and others? So who are we tipping? A person or a bot? Not good.
You, Walker, etc are doing great work and are appreciated. But when you rant and complain about zaps I gotta rant back about why it really isn't as easy as you suggest. For real techies maybe. Not mainstream though. Most of the Gen Z and Millenials I know and not interested in putiing the time into the learning curve especially when wallets come and go or get raided still. Sorry I just wasted a week trying to set things up, but in vain.
