I have. @Vitor Pamplona is right. Lightning is broken. Mostly LND is the culprit. People need to stop using that GO shit. The UX sucks. The UI sucks. It fails basic operations and nobody knows why. It has knobs that do nothing. When it breaks, mere mortals are completely helpless. It's a complete mess. The question isn't whether you can make it work for you. The question is how do you make it work for the normie. If you think normies can run a lightning channel, you're delusional.

oh no no no. I'm not saying that normied can use lightning. I'm saying normies can put on laser eyes and learn just like we all did. I guess I'm just the lucky 1% of people that started a mynode box and left it running for years and years to the point where I finally understood what the hell it was doing. all I'm arguing is that lighting is not as broken as people make it out to be. it's hard, sure. but it's not impossibly hard to the point of being unusable. The growth of the network proves that.
