On your concerns with the larger Umbrel app store.
My understanding is at that point the BTC/Lightning Nodes will only be Apps on the store not installed by default.
So the vision is you load up Umbrel OS on your pi and either load up BTC/Lightning nodes and apps or use it as a home server and load up other apps that are not BTC/Lightning.
So the vision is have 2 pi's running 1: BTC node 2: home server
I get the concerns with unfretted access, but I feel the concept is to make it easier to have home servers and store/serve up their own Git, phots library, chat etc.. and move off the big tech companies.
Also I love this line "The Bitcoin in these channels is then shuffled backwards and forwards like beads on an abacus"
This the best description for the basic person I have heard in a long time explaining lightning. !LUV it
@simplegame(3/3) gave you LUV. | wallet | market | tools | connect | <><
The beads on the abacus thing comes from a really long post written by Roy from Breez. It's somewhere on Medium.
I agree on 2 servers but I hope that gets better communicated by the Umbrel guys.
Agreed.
Umbrel could do a better job.
For the time being I will give them the benefit of the doubt and wait and see.
