You don't need your own Lightning Network node. A Coinos wallet does not require opening and closing channels by a user. Keep it simple for new nostr users.

Exactly. Unfortunately, everyone points new users towards non-custodial wallets for a variety of reasons. Custodial solutions do carry risks, and we’ve had some pretty spectacular incidents in the past. But we need a more balanced approach than just "everything should be non-custodial... Must.. onboard... new... user! Must tell them to run a Lightning node… and a full BTC node… and buy this cloud subscription… and this box with software to run BTC + Nostr relays"... Just let new users chill a bit, let them say hi, post some cat pictures and follow a couple of people. If they want to setup a custodial wallet and get zapped for their cat pics, let them. If not, this is more than fine as well. We should 100% stop bombarding new users with all of the Lightning stuff.

Coinos has been thoroughly compromised and should no longer be used!
