Even just fully self-hosted lightning transactions are challenging. I remember way back trialing BlueWallet with the hidden LDK connected to my own node. It was always 50/50 and a nervous wait to see if the transaction went through (which wasn’t a great example to new vendors who perhaps hadn’t experience lightning much / at all)
I now use the likes of Phoenix which is a nice half-way house. Would love to see a wallet that had two channels out, one via your own node, and one via an LSP as a fall-back so transactions always go through.
I need to look at how the LDK has moved along though. Would love to integrate something like that into Damus - I think there are enough custodial solutions out there, so time for something more sovereign.
Keep pioneering! It’s through efforts like yours that the UX improves for the less technically (or patient) inclined.
