So we're trying to solve this problem of having non-custodial lightning. We want to be able to zap people. Phones can run lightning nodes, but they aren't up all the time. So we've got HODL invoices (Zeus), people mostly using custodial solutions, and now ecash etc which is better custodial but still custodial.

Excuse my ignorance, but what if we just idk.. waited? For them to come back online? I mean.. ahem.. had a "low time preference". You could have a bunch of "pending outgoing" zaps and your nostr client occasionally retries the transaction, and if they don't go through after x days, they get cancelled. It incentivizes people to open their wallet occasionally to receive pending zaps.

How is this solution not workable or preferable to custodial ones?
