cock and ball torture. I'm just saying that as far as I'm aware lightning requires opening channels, which also costs money, and additional setup. Onchain zaps seem really easy to use right now, but reading those talks on how awful they are for privacy I can't really know whether they are good or no. Like, yes, my transactions are going to be traceable, and the fees are going to be high later, but at the same time they seem to be really easy to use for a normie like me.

You've been mislead but it's a free country so go
The fees are really low, at the moment, and the Bitcoin price is depressed. We shouldn't make major protocol situations at the bottom of a dip.
Bitcoin is going up forever, gal.
I will just point out that no one who uses Monero (XMR) has any worries whatsoever about this.
We can post our Monero address (especially a subaddress) and welcome tips without a care in the world about privacy. One less thing to worry about.
And it might cost the sender a penny.
People actually use Monero to buy stuff. Just saying.
That's because nobody uses it and fees are basically 0
What is so difficult with creating a lightning wallet that you are calling it "cock and bull torture"?
You would rather put a hot onchain wallet on your phone or browser? I hope it's not your stacking wallet that you are using to zap since you are so averse to any kind of setup.
I just mean that for me, as a normie who doesn't know shit about Bitcoin, it's alot easier and more straightforward to use onchain zaps. I know about some of their risks, but in comparison to Lightning there's much less work from the user side involved. I will try out Lightning later and see if it is better in terms of user experience for a normie like me.
I almost died laughing from the CBT, I was genuinely convinced it's a thing, util the first line
