After Jan 3rd stackers should be aware of these aspects:
  • how much they will pay in LN fees and what routes they used (some are more expensive)
  • how much they will get a "SN tax cut"
  • how much will cost them to open and get (force) closed LN channels (if they use own LN node)
  • if they run their own LN node, keep an eye on your node performance. With more activity, your node database will increase exponentially, that means more maintenance. That is affecting directly your node reliability This is a warning for all those home node runners with shity RPis...
  • how many failed zaps
  • how many rewards will get
SN will tell you only about "how wonderful is life with p2p zaps" but will not tell you how hard is to maintain a self-custody LN node. YOU WILL REMEMBER MY WORDS.

Well shit...

I should start saving all the posts like "omg my node just crashed after I activated so called p2p zaps on SN"...

I actually lost my node in a boating accident after the last p2p zap I received. Can you please reimburse?

provide preimage

I’d need my node for that. It’s at the bottom of the Mariana Trench now.

Going to be FUN:) Will see how things play out, but then stackers don't really need to run a self-custody LN node for SN.

I wonder why is named "p2p zaps" if most of the people are using other custodial accounts for SN zaps anyways...

Can we make wos2wos (wallet of satoshi to wallet of satoshi) a phrase? I just feel like it will look funny and break up the tension when people are having serious arguments about this stuff in the future.

so why not lead a fedimint federation on SN? private and decentralized tips with zero shitcoinery, all under your maximalist empire βš‘πŸ‘‘
reply
You are getting it wrong. CCs are not shitcoins. Are simply credits to use SN. Like WoW gold. That's all. Why to complicate things with a crap fedi when stackers can just use CCs for pay to post? Fedi doesn't solve anything in SN case. Just complicate it more.
reply
nah, you misunderstood my point, or I explained myself wrong, not talking about CCs as shitcoins, of course not. i'm talking about shitcoinery content in some posts here ;)

that will be the "side effect" πŸ˜‚

A system like SN is not meant to use this kind of "LN zap interceptor". Too much friction for so many small zaps. People have a wrong idea about "streaming sats"... But soon they will find out.
This will have an impact in:
  • how many times stackers will zap. Will be less and less. You will prefer to do a single bigger zap, one time than 10 small zaps.
  • the amount they will zap. Bigger zaps will be only when is really worth it, bounties, boosts etc.
The whole era of 1-2-3-10-20 sats even everything under 500-1000 sats will be over because are not worth it.
That's why I will remain a "cowboy credits" maxi and not involve any of nodes into this "p2p zaps". For me SN remain a "pay to post". So if I remain without CCs I will just deposit more sats and use them to pay to post.

So basically the LN fees are making p2p zaps prohibitive for non-custodial lightning?
reply
A self-custody LN node is too hard I use CoinOS! Haha
