This was intended to be aimed at Nostr usage primarily, but I'm interested in a larger discussion of the pros and cons of maintaining a native Lightning wallet (and for more intermediate/advanced users, a node) compared to leveraging off Strike's infrastructure.

KYC requirements of Strike aside, what do you think of the LN functionality of S.A. compared to DIY'ing everything? And why would people pick one or the other, based on your assessment and experience?
