Yes, today is an ARK-themed day.
My doubts about the protocol come from two specific points:
- The liquidity of the ASP, an ASP needs a lot of liquidity to be able to carry out transactions.
- The legal implications of executing an ASP.
What do you think about this? nostr:npub18aq8s3z9xl87e74twfk93mljxq6alv4a79yheadx33t9np4g2wkqrtmask
It seems to me that because of the big liquidity requirement Ark nodes will be even more centralized than the big lightning nodes currently.
- There is a very secret v2 design in the making that greatly solves the liquidity issue. This would make Ark more efficient, if not as efficient as Lightning.
- One can form a geographically distributed ASP federation with hundreds of members. This would aggregate liquidity in once place and make ASPs less prone to regulatory attacks.
Thank you for your response, I really appreciate the work you are doing! 🙏
