You are advertising something that most senders didn't know it was possible and most receivers didn't want to use. This should be opt-in to signal the desired receiving method. 🫂

It's also the only method that actually works around here... Lightning fails in about 30% of the time. Cashu even more. So, it's really the only stable method to send zaps we have currently.

My big lesson from this is that the past 10 years of Bitcoin development has been a massive lie. Nothing after 2014 really works well and people that claim it's working are massively delusional.

Failing to receive it's much worse than failing to send. If the user doesn't signal his desire to receive onchain, he will probably fail receiving, and that's a massive fail, imo.

You don't think the version 0 SegWit (2017) length-extension bug is sufficiently rendered harmless by clients' length constraints?

> Lightning fails in about 30% of the time Holy shit what? Let’s debug this. Which issues have you opened to the Lightning implementations and providers you’re using? This is not the experience most have.

Lightning’s reliability issues are real, but dismissing all post-2014 Bitcoin progress ignores institutional adoption—like ETFs reshaping liquidity dynamics. Just read an analysis on how ETF flows are now driving price action more than tech debates. https://theboard.world/articles/bitcoin-etf...

100% I realized it too. Bitcoin just works.

You completely ignored his argument about opting in, which you could have addressed through the UX, and distracted with exaggerations instead. The way you're pushing this makes it look like you have an agenda.

Lightning works 99% of the time, ackchually...

You made it to the bird app, helping shilling some shitcoin :) https://image.nostr.build/c4be5bbafbf32d533768163d1e24a0e586d907314569ce9bf01fe93b6061844b.png

"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? We obviously cannot see the failure rates for other services, but for Rizful and Alby, unless you ...

Keen to find out more about why Lightning is failing for you 30% of the time (as are others).

Heretic! Apostate! Burn the Witch!

Integrate Bitcoin Cash, Zano, or Dash into Amethyst. There's a growing BCH community, Zano might be even more perfect but unfortunately unknown

Lightning and Cashu reliability issues in certain regions are real, but dismissing all post-2014 Bitcoin development ignores scaling tradeoffs and local context. The ETF flow data I saw yesterday actually shows institutional demand growing despite tech friction—suggests different problems for diff...

what do you think about Spark and Ark? Also I think this is too pessimistic, yeah non custodial lightning probably fails all the time but I am fine with custodial lightning for small amounts
