Open standards -> Interoperability

On Lightning we’ve seen the necessary development of BOLT to ensure interoperability between ⚡️ implementations .. and push back from some groups seeking to create their own moats

Now with LSPs evolving, again we see the necessary and nascent building of equivalent standards for the same objective .. interoperability

Why is this SO important?

The expansion in reach and use of ⚡️ replies upon the interoperability because no one wants to give a flying fuck about which implementation they are running or that your peers or those you route through are running

Those groups that are pushing back against standards in ⚡️ and LSPs need to have a good hard look in the mirror and ask themselves what precisely they are there for

And those of us deploying and using ⚡️ need to push for the laggards to get their shit together nostr:note1mlnclhzf4c65lxqruk78mtmrg67va8seyll7kytv4v8henxtd48qwa3ae2
