I saw that. I was hoping he would respond to you.

I'm curious though: is spark so different from a lightning wallet where you have only one channel with your LSP (a la Phoenix)?

I guess you can get to the chain more easily, but they still can see all your txs, I think.

No, it's not so different, only slightly worse.

But I don't think it's too much to ask that we try for "slightly better" instead of giving up entirely.

We already had Mercury Layer statechains. These used blind signatures so the statechain couldn't spy on users. The custody issue remains for both Mercury and Spark, but why the FUCK is the privacy getting WORSE as new projects replace old ones?

I was hoping he would respond to you.

Would you, if he had replied to you like that? I certainly wouldn’t. What is there even to reply to?

lol, “I shot him down”. You wrote this:

It doesn't take that many paragraphs just to say "Spark is custodial and can spy on all of your transactions".

You have only disqualified yourself from the discussion with that unproductive reply.

Saying it’s custodial is as smart as saying it’s not.

Brevity is the soul of wit. Do you think anyone would care about their 10 page essay if it started with the truthful sentence "Spark is custodial and can spy on all of your transactions"?
