Having said that, I do think having to pay to be non-custodial (whether via Alby cloud service or your own node), is a total non-starter for 95% of users, and is of course a large reason why lightning has struggled in general.&#xA;&#xA;Additionally, the thing that lightning is best at currently is SMALL payments, which honestly most people don&#39;t need non-custodial when it is for small amounts.&#xA;&#xA;Non-custodial is for my cold wallet. I don&#39;t mind having some sums in custodial things, so long as they are very convenient and cheap to use.&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;d have happily paid a 500-1000 sats every month to use alby custodially, and I hope they considered that, but guessing it&#39;s not possible from a legal standpoint in many jurisdictions.&#xA;&#xA; nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm</html></oembed>
