I had a whirl with the testnet version of Eclair on that Starbloqs website or whatever it was. Couldn't get it to work. I just tried the full fat version with a channel that was claiming to be active and well connected. No dice.

I think I'll go away until it's brainless. Are there plans to make it brainless?

As it stands I don't see how this would transform my life, but I would've said that about BTC itself too at one point.
