 +1. Plus, Nostr can sometimes feel like a targeted ads platform for certain Lightning ecosystems. Very few people are willing to admit that running a Lightning node to transact just a few thousand sats per month actually sacrifices not only convenience but also time and hard-earned sats.

To be clear, nostr:nprofile1qqsq4hm8gawvch9y2m7nqghydaw4ym4s4a3gf0u9f9xqm4uy0ul9qvcpremhxue69uhkstnrdajxjmn8v9ex2mnp9e6x7up0da6hgcn00qq3vamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwfjkccte9eshqup0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcht4zgq, I'm not talking about you—you're not trying to hide information or mislead anyone. But I enjoy being a bit of a contrarian. There's too many people on Nostr funnelling users toward the same two or three companies selling "convenient" Lightning software and services. I’m 100% in support of users running CLN/LND nodes, as long as they have a clear understanding of what they’re getting into and why.
