For many people and Bitcoin "experts", Muun wallet is not the best option to use LN, and this is clear as it is a hybrid between on chain and LN that still leaves doubts. However, something is clear and that is that Muun is the easiest option for people to approach the world of Bitcoin and have greater adoption.
My biggest gripe with that is that we as a community are wasting to much time, energy and brain power towards very complicated cryptography with niche userbase.
Bitcoins elegance also stems from combining standard cryto in an uncomplicated way that almost seems too obvious that cryptographers think how the hell they overlooked having the idea themselves. Lightning has complicated crypto with amazing outcomes as a network. But muun just drains a lot of mental energy for complicated crypto with small leverage effects seeing yet.

Interesting point!
Edit: Do you think that the increased user experience with more adoption is a so small effect? Muun, with his defects, could push other wallets to invest on a better usability, improving the whole ecosystem.

I'd give them more credit if they had a larger userbase, yes. But I do not think that is going to happen.

100k user is a small userbase?
reply
Yes compared to most major software products and communities. 100k is tiny.
