I literally make a lightning node distribution, made for people to run, and decentralize the network.
I do not provide any centralized custodial service, Pubs use any other Pub to bootstrap peer.
Even the built-in LSP automation uses an array of different LSP's, zeus-olympus, voltage, megalithic, flash sats.
I don't run one.
YOUR NODE shops rates and peers when running a Lightning.Pub
I've made all this a 1 line install and Start9 bundle.
I shit on Ark Spark and Cashu because they are shit, their entire premise is at-scale centralization, handwaving that neobanker dogshit as open source doesn't make it any less shit.
You know nothing.

So you'd have been okay with Cashu, Ark and Spark if the Cashu devs, Ark Labs and Lightspark didn't run any instance of these systems and only built the software?
Another dishonesty from you I recently discovered from you is in just the first few seconds of the interview you said if someone had come up with these systems 6-7 years ago they would have been laughed off stage. Ruben Somsen came up with the idea of statechains 6 years ago and no one did, in fact, no one laughed at his ideas, his presentations (available on YouTube), the Mercury Layer implementation etc. They just never took off till Spark came along
Their design is built around scale centralization, it's shit design no matter what their incentives.
> Statechains never took off
That is being laughed off the stage.
Lightning is.
> Until spark cane along
And Spark is laughable, so by your own admission statechains only use-case is pretending to be lightning.
