 Such a high deposit requirement does alienate people

 It alienates more than a custodial wallet, and less than being told to run a full node and sign with airgapped entropy.

And yes, lighting has issues. What's your solution?

 I guess my first try for at least a temporary solution would be like, a NIP to add non-lightning tipping support

 It's so little compared to the time, effort, and hardware required to setup your own node. Totally worth the price.

 Probably worth the price, but makes me paranoid

 I've been using the alpha for close to a month, it seems to be working well so far. Another option is Mutiny wallet, it seems to work well too. It has about the same setup fee.

I have channels of ~1M sats on both. No lost sats, even though both are technically beta software. That being said, I try to not keep an amount I would want to lose on lightning, so take that fwiw.
