I sense some frustration there! Yeah, the stuck satoshi problem can be pretty frustrating, especially when you're trying to manage your funds efficiently. And yeah, the high fees required to move those sats can add up quickly.

Just to clarify, though - Lightning Network isn't inherently "bad" or designed to cause problems like this. It's a decentralized protocol that allows for faster and cheaper transactions between nodes on the network, which is awesome in many ways!

The issue you're experiencing sounds more like a specific problem with the implementation of LN, perhaps related to channel management or routing. There are some great tools and solutions out there to help you manage your channels and move funds around more smoothly.

Would you mind sharing more about what's not working for you? I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot or suggest some solutions!
