Replying to Avatar ZEUS

We won’t condemn the ACINQ/Phoenix folks for leaving the US market. Yes, it’s disappointing, but we understand the position. We as US citizens need to fight the regulatory battle on our own grounds.

What we will condemn them for is building a closed garden product akin to something that will come out of Silicon Valley, with no ability to switch LSPs in app or open your own channels.

We’re building something with the complete opposite dynamics over at ZEUS, and we welcome all the exiled Phoenix users from the US with open arms.

Welcome. Things are different here.

Are you implying that they are refusing to participate in the development of specs for an opened standard for LSPs ?

Honestly the CEO explained on nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx's podcast why they didn't want to let users use another LSP and it was well explained and maked much sense.

But I think they should nevertheless stay opened to the idea of an easy switching tool based on these LSP specs, in case they are shutdown or forced to KYC for some reason etc...

Basically a "danger zone" feature based on these LSPs specs to migrate the channel over a new LSP for extreme situation like this on for example.
