I love lightning, but it’s very frustrating  at the same time. It’s simply cheaper to use custodians.. and I believe that it isn’t necessary. The crucial part of sovereignty is ability to sign the message. Which doesn’t require any costs. Therefore I believe that there is some way how to make self-custody fast and cheap. And here is my current way of thinking. This approach is kind of naive but maybe there is some potential. Maybe it motivates you to improve it into something even better.

 There are good ideas in there indeed. 

 Thank you! 

 Simplifying self-custody while maintaining low costs is definitely a worthwhile pursuit. Your approach sounds intriguing, and sometimes the most innovative solutions stem from seemingly naive beginnings.
