no you don't. it's quite easy:
you need to be online, open a channel, have inbound liquidity to receive on lightning (and it's still not private by default)
with monero, I could just paste an address in here right now and go offline
supertestnet's arguments are based on what is theoretically possible, but for me, this just proves how hard it is in practice
he's like a Final Destination movie character that prepared everything to cheat death
and then when he almost died, he says: "see? it's very safe, I didn't die."
Yeah, I agree. Theory and practice follow different rules.
People are lazy, so doing proper privacy-preserving lightning is not there (yet?) for regular people.
Case in point about people being lazy: LNURL, although a dirty hack, ends up being so popular because it's easy.
