I’m not sure about ASPs but my biggest concern with #lightning is that if you use a custodial wallet (which most people do) you should have no expectation of privacy (because of the source routing). Now, it’s fine if you don’t care about privacy but I hear a lot of folks saying that lightning is private which seems like a misconception.

I definitely agree that probably the biggest issue with #lightning is that most people use it with custodial wallets, and that's a strong centralizing force as well.

In that case it's easier to argue that ASPs on #Ark are better than the status quo. But the custodial nature of Lightning today is not a function of the protocol - it's a layer on top for better UX. Non-custodial wallet options can improve without having to change the way Lightning works fundamentally.

ASPs appear to be fundamental to Ark. That's a protocol layer issue.

I’d like to see better easier options for non-custodial wallets with #lightning but I doubt we’ll see improvements that are good enough to onboard a majority of lightning users on non-custodial wallets. I need to look more into ASPs/Ark.
