static invoices, onion messages, blinded routes, trampoline payments and eventually PTLC

So like never.

I've moved on to federated lightning addresses that can allow the user to sweep the funds to their self custodial LN channel when they come back online.

Nah. Most implementations already support most of these. PTLCs will take longer, but there are ways to mitigate proof of payments.

When protocol features need network wide support, it turns into a forever waiting game. It does not matter if other implementations have this support when they're at most 5% of the nodes on the network. Until you can reliably route onion messages and have senders speak onion messages/async, it won't happen.

But that's not the case here. You can easily run lndk to get onion messages. We're still early, and you think you can influence the adoption, you're wrong.

We've both given up on LND. Ofc I still applaud the efforts and a move towards something better, I'm just pessimistic and have grown tired of asking.

I'll believe it when I see it more. Are you running it and do you know of any others running it in production currently?
