hehe, that question has nothing to do with Alby Hub. that’s a lightning wallet.

just trying to see people’s opinion here.

what’s your main argument why you don’t like Spark/Ark?

Spark is a trap from Marcus Family and should be treated very seriously as an enemy of Bitcoin, no matter how much they like to pretend to be bitcoiners. They're not.

Ark is just a joke. Ark will always depend on LN to get out from ASP, using a swap channel, so again will be "gates" from ASP that can easily be KYCed and controlled.

So come the question: if I need anyways a LN channel why would I enter into an ASP ? Ark is just a scam for poor and clueless newbies.

Couldn’t you compare an Ark wallet to something like Phoenix where users are stuck with a single LSP? I don’t agree with the roach motel idea. It’s much easier to accumulate and then exit versus providing all liquidity up front. Also, if users get censored and KYC’d the service will fail. There are some great developers working on Ark implementations, they aren’t building this to rugpull users…
