what does expensive mean here?

Quantum cracking SHA256 will get here faster than self-sovereign normie lightning nodes.

There's a bit of technical barrier as well, but I set mine up at home with Alby Hub in ten minutes and ChatGPT walked me through the whole process step by step.

how the hell is it expensive? My channels pay for themselves. Their average age is 2 years currently. How are you not in the green running a node lol sheesh

Then we need something different than lightning... Unless there some huge abstraction and you just say what the biggest payment you want to make is, it says deposit x amount of liquidity to use. Even then people are not gunna like a 50% failure rate on a $50 transaction when they provide $1000 in li...
