https://twitter.com/CobraBitcoin/status/953669495033298944The way @Blockstream is promoting LN use on mainnet is very irresponsible. People will lose money and LN reputation will be damaged. A few weeks ago, I received a disgusting and accusatory email out of nowhere from someone very high up their chain of command. Terrible company.
To be fair the current tools to use lightning on mainnet are not for new users and out of their technical ability
If you are capable of installing the dependencies, building the source code and navigating the command line then you are well above what's needed to understand the risks of running the beta software
The user friendly pre compiled GUI apps etc are locked to testnet for a reason.
Once these reach a stable state only then will they will be released for mainnet use
