 Get your sats off of WoS and Alby and Fountain and Stacker news before you get shotgun KYC'd

Go with Zeus or mutiny, it's time.

Or if you're node running, you can run btcpayserver zaps

 Wouldn't it be easier to recieve zaps to self-custodial LN wallets if we have Bolt12? 
 Many things would be easier with bolt12

 How would we β€œget” KYC using those apps? 
 I have this same question. πŸ€”

 If you really believe that is going to happen shouldn't you just reconsider your life choices and start investing your time and support in better ways of sending satoshis than Lightning?

Are you really going to put your head in the sand and keep using a broken technology that only works with KYC or huge fees and is basically incapable of onboarding new users? 
 I really need to hear a podcast on the alternatives first @TheGuySwann πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€
