“Lightning is good only for custodial services”
It’s easy with custodial services, but lighting was designed for non-custodial.
“Fiatjaf and Paul would like to onboard people in a non-custodial way”
Fiatjaf just said people should use custodial cashu 🤷🏻♂️. I think he wants that but has taken doomer / motivated reasoning ideas from Paul too seriously.
“Spark”
Spark is statechains with extra steps. Federations are not worth much unless you’re a member, but then you’re faced with higher interactivity requirements than lightning. In the end, it’s back to custodial trust that can be bent against you.
