What would you say is the biggest improvement lightning needs?
I also agree that LN needs to improve. Either that, or the LN tools people are using needs to improve. I've had too many failed payments--it leaves a bad taste and makes LN seem unreliable. I remember that I couldn't pay Bitcoin Magazine once because payment kept failing (this was circa 2021). More recently, I tried to buy from hongbaob.tc via lightning, and that also failed. Bitrefill and Stacker.News have both been pretty reliable, but that may not be fair since I have a direct connection to SN.

- payment reliability and better channel management are definitely big ones
- better receiver privacy
- async payments
- PTLCs
- better programmatic interop (that doesn't always require installing some wrapping service)
tbh I don't know exactly what it needs. I only know that it doesn't have what it needs yet.
