 That's great and all, but they fail to define what "functional and decentralized" actually means.

And if they define it correctly, then only #Bitcoin would fit the description.

 During my time learning how to set up a #Lightning node, I found it useful to think of the node and wallet in #Nostr terms:

#Lightning node -> #Nostr relay

@ZEUS wallet app -> #Nostr client

It might not be a 100% accurate comparison, but it did help me process how setting up a channel all comes together

 I finally sat down and set up my #Lightning node on @umbrel. Opened a channel, connected my node to the @ZEUS app, and paired my node with @NWC to #zap directly from my node.

It's about time I sat down and did this to commit to self-soverignty.
