The point of this "habit" is simply to not create onchain dust. So if you have a channel opened with the change of like 50-100k, that's not going to get you very far. We're kinda seeing with high onchain fees that channels need to be big or bad things happen.

But if someone didn't have any LN channels they could receive a LN payment to custodial wallets like coinos.io or wallet of satoshi.

> You would already have to have a LN channel for this to work using LN

A LN channel is necessary  - but the buyer might not necessarily have one open with the merchant they're purchasing from, especially if they're a first time buyer. having channel creation with your merchant as an option streamlined into the first initial purchase would make it easier to have them be repeat customers,too.

honestly, that would be great too, but it also would be dependent on finding a way to consistently send that info to the customer w/out being sure whether or not they had a cashu wallet at the time of token creation (I'd say email, but the text *is* the money w/ cashu)
