We hear very little about lightning. Is it used much? Works well?

Yeah, it rocks!! Love Lightning. I send sats to friends and family who can exchange them for goods and services in their local currencies. It’s almost instant and very low or zero fees.

I recommend checking out BTCPay server, it is a full BTC node, LN node and payment invoicing system. Integrated into e-commerce platforms and apps.

But you're using it through a service that uses lightning and custodies your funds? Or you are managing your own channel?

Uh, it’s me. Of course I’m running my own node and managing my own channels!! BTCPay is sweet man, check it out.

Ride the Lightning is a nice webui for LN
