I run Lightning Pub on my own hardware. And that is not custodial.
Is just a simple LND node in neutrino mode linked to a nostr relay that you can run it by yourself if you want.
DYOR before saying lies.

I can run my own Ark service provider or Spark operator as well and use it myself. You can be running your own Cashu/Fedimint mint too. Who gives it a shit
The thing is these systems are made to be used by others, so people like Justin and you who have issues with some trust based models but not others, and those others happen to be the things built by or used by a company you are associated with, is dishonesty in your part
Fine for me. But stop saying bullshit like "Ark is a new L2". It is not.
Do whatever you want in your network.
Yeah it isn't complicated. After a year running hosted alby hub I feel I'm growing out of it and will fork the hub and remove the bitcoins is and fix the shitty web app, maybe even rewrite the ui completely because it's retarded. Looks like react ndk nonsense to me.
Later I will switch it to LND/neutrino/btcd. Once I fork and meld the neutrino and lnd together into a unit, and later fork btcd to replace its signature library and retarded CLI config system.
Roasbeef and co fucked me around bigtime when I was trying to contribute to lnd and btcd. I have a vendetta against them and intend to make their shitty servers obsolete and forgotten.
