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.

I burn tokens having deepseek V4 fix my self-custodial setup. now it works more than 90% of the time and I have customer support. it is usually network reasons that cause failures. not intrinsic problems with ln itself.
