Lightning is actually gambling. When you want to send or receive a transaction, you actually spin the casino slot and wait with the faith of the entire universe that it hits this time and probably it does what it should do this time.

Ohhh god how I hate Lightning, it's the shittiest payment tech I have ever used in my fkn entire life.. it's just unusable, I cannot use this crap.. even when I want to test it again for Zapping on Nostr.. after all these years.. god... it still hates me.. again and again.. every time I lose money due to some strange bugs and it never works in my hands. In comparison with onchain payments I had ZERO problems in my entire life, onchain just WORKS EVERY time and I have never lost funds here.
I don't hate LN in a vacuum, if Lightning was actually usable and worked, I wouldn't hate this tech, but as I said, this tech just doesn't work. Every time I try to use this supertech, EVERY TIME something goes very strange..
Ah, yeah, I had zero problems with custodial LN wallets, it just works how I want to see how self-custody should work..
my fav decentralized payment tech β¨
God, please save me π

I'm watching a video tutorial on YT by some software dev.. ohhh god.. How ugly it is to see how the dev is trying to use fkn Windows 11 for programming... How horrible it looks, the dev experience is a total zero in comparison with the Linux UX.. I switched to Arch nearly 3 years ago. What he does on Windows with like dozens of clicks, losing a huge amount of time... I do with the same result near instantly using only a few commands in the terminal... I've heard a lot that "Linux has a bad UX," and I never agreed with that, it's a total bullshit position by a person who has never used Linux. I used Windows for a huge part of my life, and I NEVER missed this OS when I learned basic Linux commands and started using it in my daily life.
Use Linux bro, drop the Microslop shit off your work table
Horrible video..

"Moneroβs adoption in darknet marketplaces (DNMs) has also grown. Recent data shows a continued structural shift toward XMR-only markets, particularly in environments facing sustained enforcement pressure. In 2025, nearly half (48%) of newly launched darknet markets supported only Monero β a notable increase compared to earlier years. This trend is especially pronounced in Western-facing markets, where privacy coins appear to be a direct response to improved tracing capabilities on Bitcoin and stablecoins."
