The complexity of lightning is absolutely staggering. It has an unbelievable amount of technical surface area. You have been papering over it and hiding this complexity from the user behind centralization and central points of failure. It has spawned the most disgusting anti-bitcoin things conceivable in an effort to justify its own existence, and now all of these abominations are exploding and collapsing under the weight of the hidden complexity. PLEASE stop. It's been ten years of this shit. You are starting to learn the hard way. This is your final chance to admit you are wrong about lightning and leave it behind before it hurts even more people.
