BTC/LN will not succeed if too many talk the talk but do not even bother attaching a gun.
You excuses for not doing so are unconvincing.
LN will only succeed if all the hopium talk is matched with actions and courage.
Not attaching a gun is a strong indicator of cowardice, hypocrisy and arsemilking.
If I have zero CCs/Sats in my Stacker News "wallet" (which I do, I have zero).
How am I paying to post comment or zap other users???
No doubt you use the QR code, as I do if when there is occasionally a glitch with SN/coinos attached wallet.
The point is why not just attach a wallet and show your gun with pride, rather than hiding your LN use like a coward?
No, dude. I copy and paste the invoice into CoinOS and pay it there. It takes like 1-2 seconds.
CoinOS automatically recognizes what to pay how much and the routing fees... it's great. Don't... make assumptions. OK?
You are just making it slower and more inconvenient and you are concealing your use of LN rather than proudly showing a gun.
Why would you want to conceal your use of LN?
Cowardice?

This will improve a lot soon too.
We'll have stacker settings for sat filters for each comments and posts. It makes downzaps way more effective at helping others avoid baddies - anyone can push a comment/post below other stackers thresholds and it's collapsed/hidden.
It'll ship in the next few days. Just doing final testing now.
Sadly even CC shitcoins can be used in the same way.
Downzapping could perhaps be limited to true sats to improve the integrity of the sats based ethos of SNs and weed out the hypocrits who claim to be Bitcoiners but do not attach wallets.
I don't normally mute other users or downzap... because I really like to get a variety of quality perspectives, even if I disagree with them. It also doesn't help to mute, because SN is such a small community muting people means even fewer users which we don't want.
At the same time... comments and replies should be constructive. I will give it time, sometimes alcohol is involved and it's understandable people can be a little touchy given the market volatility which is normal.
Lol you are not answering my perfectly reasonable question.
Now you appeal for censorship.
Maybe you are one of the many @DarthCoin sock puppets.

It is a perfectly reasonable question that you refuse to answer.
Are you a government agent @Solomonsatoshi ???
I'm right there with you, I am amazed at how far Lightning has come and all the cool stuff it enables, even if it's a little bit buggy/frustrating at times.
The biggest thing Lightning is missing today is education. The "shitcoiners" the "degens" the "crypto" nonsense has tremendously slowed Bitcoin's adoption, especially when people buy Bitcoin because of NgU not because of curiosity or technical competence or value.
That's what the bear markets do - they wash out all the tourists and IMO we are speed-running year 4 of "the cycle".
In the meantime we need a lot more education but it will take time and be gradual.
I can personally attest to lots of different businesses that now accept Bitcoin that didn't several years ago. Its extremely niche but you can actually use Lightning in the 'real world' which didn't exist 5 years ago.
