I opined on at least two occasions (#523941, #723980), hinting that this transition will cause problems. That was BEFORE it actually happened.

Zapping real sats has more friction now, both for the sender and receiver, but moreso for the receiver. Not everyone can run a node. Of those that run a node, not everyone wants to "doxx" their node - for example, I use a separate identity just for SN and don't want to associate it with my node.

So of course, it pushed people into custodial solutions. I myself use CoinOS so that I can receive zaps 24/7 without a link to my node. Because I'm cynical and want sats, not CCs.
