I would rather you keep the sats and put em toward continued work strengthening the network! I am a pleb (i think) but I am trying to understand all this craziness that is Bitcoin, Lightning, Fedimints etc... I am just slow. Thank you for this write up - Thank you for you time - Thank you for your inner drive to make the world a better place! Keep pushing - I will be pushing myself - maybe one day I will even contribute something more meaningful than a few sats and/or cuckbucks here and help in a more meaningful manner!

If I am understanding the problem - it seems that trying to ensure transactions are legit on layer 2's is difficult due to the underlying need to verify the transactions on the base layer... and getting the layer 2's to do this while keeping their nodes running is difficult? It seems like we need a layer 2 that is almost a copy of Bitcoin but with larger blocksizes? I need to give this some more thought as that is probably not the right idea? I may be in touch again....
