Great article, Ben. My node is ready for the covenants plunge 🤙 ive tried more than most to utilize lightning every mobile wallet, CLN, LND. They are great when they work but costly and frustrating when they dont. And i am much more committed to the idea than any normie or even average bitcoiner. I tried to show my friend how to use lightning that is Orange pilled in thought but not technically. He was earnest and open to it...and even then it was clearly not scalable experience, he never used it after that day.

I love self hosted lightning so much and its fucking killing me too 😅 keep up the great work
