This certainly doesn't apply to you. My point is that generally speaking, by connecting a receiving wallet you get real sats from stackers who zap you. But, by not connecting a sending wallet you don't zap others real sats. Some of these accounts barely zap at all, meaning they're not even buying cowboy credits.There's no doubt that send wallets take more work to keep attached, as @Car pointed out. If everyone didn't take the time and effort to do that, and we all decided to detach our send wallets, our lives would be easier, but there would be fewer sats circulating on SN. Maybe that is the answer, though, since everyone would just be buying sats to use cowboy credits. I just don't think that's a good direction to head in.
It actually doesn't make sense to me that send wallets take more work to attach.
Receiving requires always-on. Sending doesn't. Also, receiving requires inbound liquidity. Sending doesn't.
So, yeah, I don't understand why a sending wallet should be considered more difficult to attach; other than at first there were some bugs regarding permission levels, iirc.
Ah, yeah it's definitely a permissions thing then. As always, security requires inconveniences. I wouldn't mind SN just going back to custodial wallets. We can't get a de minimis exemption to bitcoin transactions soon enough.
IMO at the amounts and the transaction rates we're dealing with, it really just makes more sense. People would still be using lightning to deposit and withdraw real sats to their SN account.
Do you remember when you signed up to SN?
Did you setup a wallet then or did you just use the custodial wallet attached like a lot of us did?
Thats the bar it needs to get back to at some point.
Either that or Non-Custodial Lightning needs to get more frictionless.
Like I said earlier, will get there but it just takes time, we are so early.
If anything this whole thread today motivated me more to setup mine so thanks for that, its just carving out time to do it.
You say you’re questioning motives, could you formulate that question?
