The more I actually try to use Bitcoin Lightning, the more I hate it. I just want to send and receive digital shekels. All of this shit about channels, inbound/outbound liquidity, etc is a pain in the ass and gets between me and what I want. The fact that channels can arbitrarily get closed, leaving money in limbo for days is even more shit.

AlbyHub closed a new channel I opened after 13 fucking minutes... now I need to fund another one if I want my wallet to work, but I can't the funds in AlbyHub because they're too few and stuck in closed channels anyway.

I have an embedded node Zeus wallet on a phone with enough sats to do the job, but oh no! The channel's stuck as Inactive, and even if it does activate properly, there's too many zombie channels so any attempt at payment times out and goes nowhere.

I won't pretend Monero hasn't given me headaches and borderline heart attacks in the past, but it's got nothing on this Lightning shit. When it works well it works well, but just one piece out of alignment and it all goes to shit. Lightning fucking sucks, and I'm not willing to pretend it doesn't. 

 These are all the same reasons I said fuck that and just use ecash for lightning stuff right now 

 Both Zeus embedded wallet and AlbyHub use different versions of light wallets. Light wallets are very much work in progress and they won't work great. Don't use light wallets. I've used them both. Left Zeus after 2 channel closures, Alby Hub closed my channel after 26 days. You need to be using a proper LN node. In comparison my BTCPay Server's LND based node has one channel that has been online for the last 96d 7h 50m and it's working great, no channel closures or anything. And I've been using it, I've moved about 0.3 BTC over that single channel back and forth. 

 Monero fixes this 😂 

 Aaaand mute. Gtfo 🖕🏿 

 maybe you shouldn't be so hostile about something you don't understand...?

just saying

 BCH may work

I heard people criticizing it and their main points are:

1. hashrate isn't close to BTC's 
2. blocks barely fill up (100kb blocks)

but these don't invalidate the technology, they just reflect its current state

I think it just comes down to marketing 

 I prefer BCH to BT, is far close to the original conception, but the problem is BCH use the same algo of BTC so 51% attack is too easy 

 Yeah, but whatever. Let’s keep using BTC until a government messes up with their custodial Lightning solution and steals from its people. Then they'll want to use BCH.
Maybe BTC will upgrade the block max weights, who knows. 

 The mining centralisation, KYC and transparent ledger is a mess, we the people should use Monero or something like that,, BCH have cashshuffle wich I like but there is no protection against ASIC wich is a big problem 

 What was your problem with Monero? Used from years and never had any problem
