Okay then. As I have said this still adds one step that can be avoided with any L1 crypto. And the fact that with any other crypto all you have to do is remmember 12 words to fullh recover your funds but with lightning you need to have the 12 words, the hsm secret and all the channels (the second and the third one you cannot really write down on a paper) makes it harder for journalists, especially if they are using something non persistant like tails
There are no more steps that you have to do, it is transparent to you. In monero if you want to receive money and you have 0 balance you simply give your address. Same with zeus, there is no extra step on your part with their LSP. On the other hand, zeus makes the copy of the channels in their encrypted lsp server with your seed phrase, you don't have to worry if you are a person who lacks the knowledge as an activist.
To receive? Yes, there is no more steps. But to send there is. Which is the important step since to use the money you have to send them. And hsm still has to be backed up on some kind of digital storage that can get confiscated at any time.
You are a troll. What step is there to send? In monero scan an address. In ligtning scan an invoice, or a bolt11 code, or bolt12, or a lightning address. Use whatever you want, but accept it, lightning is more private than monero and nowadays as easy to use as monero. With the introduction of ARK there won't even be any more problems of liquidity and perfect privacy. Monero is not even scalable and has the problem of hidden inflation. Good luck.
You still have to open a channel to the lsp if I underatand correctly whivh still vomes with all the downsides I mentioned in my first comment. Correct me if I'm wrong
Love you too 😘
The real advantage is not needing to exit your preferred store of value just to transact quickly & privately.
