I was surprised too the first time I learned about it: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/merchant.html#lightning-payments
Articulating empathy, such that it can be signaled and demonstrated, is hard. It requires identifying the feelings of some else, mapping them onto your own value system, then describing what that's like for you.
A self-hosted ecommerce store that accepts bitcoin to a colocated bitcoin/lightning node.
You can hack one together using a bunch of monolithic open source projects and kludgy plugins. Something better should exist.
I'm trying to vibe some tests and I'm sure I'll be happy eventually, but in the meantime it's just frustrating. It's like trying to write code over the phone.
But the big question is for how long?
What do you mean? We have much work to do, and I know we've been kind of lame on exciting releases, but I'm not going anywhere and we have lots of runway.
I want self-custody/privacy to get easier/better. I want these things as a customer but also as a provider.
It's relatively easy to argue for the right to self-custody and privacy, and for those of us being denied those rights, those properties being accessible is even more important.
As a provider, I'd also like better lightning provider<->wallet programmatic interoperability. It's early so there are lots of competing standards, but without one standard to rule them all, every provider needs to also provide wallet. Worse, without one standard to rule them all, people are cheering at the top of their lungs for well-marketed custodial/trustodial solutions.
