you don't strictly need to run a full node for lightning, though you're relying on someone to be your watchtower. deposits is the same, except the watchtower role (quorum members) is incentivized to act out of both benefit and obligation: classically, fear and greed. by requiring that quorum members have at stake at least half of what could be stolen, and requiring collusion to steal, and having transparent operations, it appears that individual ledger collateral ratios around 50/50 may require a sybil group close to half of the network in order to profitably steal

It kinda reminds me proof-of-authority: if trustworthy members of nostr community create first quorum; Ok! Will it be a web/javascript "lightweight wallet", or rust only? Something that I'll be able to zap to/from, inside of nostr webclient? Maybe it worth to be a NIP-something and new "kind of event"? How can I help you to test your software right now? I'll try to translate your docs to Russian (while there are only a few russian people here), and I'll repost your news/announcements
