Someone please do an in depth discussion on the state of the Lightning network in a podcast or post. From the outside looking in, it is very hard to identify how strong and robust the Lightning network is now. And that is very discouraging for jumping in and getting my feet wet.
Last time I tried to install and run a private LND node through CLI it was a painful experience. 🙁
I know there are layered abstractions on top of lightning, but there are so many options it becomes overwhelming. 4+ alternatives to LND, AlbyHub, Nostr Connect, etc.
