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?
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.
