It’s another good reminder that we’re all beta testers and we need to keep that in mind when inviting others. 

I suspect that, long term, most users will gravitate to custodial solutions because there will be folks like Milan who can assist. Sovereign lightning is frustrating but it still exists in consumer apps because we want to believe it’s for everyone.

Just like how we no longer use the L1 chain for everyday payments, I suspect that over time we’ll no longer use self-sovereign lightning and instead use custodial lightning and federated ecash. Probably only exchanges and federations will use sovereign lightning. 

It feels a bit like we’re in this in-between place because federated ecash isn’t yet a viable mainstream service.
