petermccormack (npub14mc…frlx) I think you should only use lightning as you want to if that helps maintain your perspective as an interviewer. But I think the missed opportunity is that lightning is in many ways a social network that relies on interactions with known trusted parties to succeed and that is where your involvement would greatly benefit the network. Most businesses have dedicated IT staff, the CEO is too busy and not down in the technical weeds - how is this different?
What I mean is, you sell merchandise to lots of bitcoiners. If your trusted brand had lightning node(s) that allowed people to open channels with you and make purchases, that might open up a lot more routing options and inbound liquidity for others with lightning nodes or whatever. I suppose what I’m saying is, your presence is too large in the space to just be a neutral bystander and you seem to sincerely want lightning to be better.
