 I see. Yeah that experience could definitely be better. Needs to come with some very clear expectations of what’s about to happen.

 any ideas on better texts? (which also seems not to be read)
that button explicitly says “open a channel”. and not “next” or something. 

the edge case here is a bit that the user has a alby hosted balance which is used instead of showing the invoice QR. we wanted to make this smooth. feedback is also that people don’t like complicated long onboarding steps. one-click done.

but there is put a lot of work in these processes. feel free to open an issue or PR.. all open source and early versions. 
 i suggest adding a button at the beginning of these processes with "i have done this before, i am sure" and less text and just a second confirmation, and make the "easy mode" pages shorter, with progress buttons that don't activate until a few seconds pass, to pass through three or four pages of warnings and explanations

newbies need to understand that all this has a cost, and experienced users already know, and this is the best way to account for both user types
