CTV's strongest use case is congestion control. This doesn't reduce the amount of on-chain txs, it actually increases them but you can delay broadcasting the outputs. This can help smooth out fee spikes but does not increase throughput.

Ark broadcasts a tx every 5 seconds. Each ark service provider multiplies this number. That's a lot of transactions.

Other UTXO sharing schemes need to be unwound somehow. For a unilateral exit this usually means multiple transactions. Same dynamics play out in lightning with only two channel peers. Imagine having 10 or 100 UTXO sharing peers. Unwinding that will take a lot of block space and you probably won't get to pick the timing.

Covenants are going to supercharge the value you can get for your block space. But I think this will make it more scarce, not less.

It required you to have an lnurl

The way his previous way worked was create an invoice and then after it gets paid immediately send to the person's lightning address.

Instead he could get an invoice from the person's lightning address, then create one of his own with the same payment hash. Once the invoice gets to him, he pays the original invoice from the lightning address and use the preimage to settle the payment to him.

I am a bug fan of covenants but I don't think they will scale layer 1 throughput.

I'm confused why you ran the service custodially when you could have easily made it non custodial by wrapping the invoice. Then it wouldn't be money transmission

WoS rugged?

you guys just love drama dont you.

Who uses lightning for their life savings?

Lightning is a hot wallet for coffees.

Hot wallets are for cucks, including Lightning wallets until cold storage is supported.

I really hope you store your savings with a hardware wallet.

If you don't, then I understand the drama.

iOS is cuck software

google products are cucked

Wallet of Satoshi was the best UI and usable LN wallet yet.

I don't care if it was custodial

if zapplepay works fine on damus, and using small-sums trusted MWC setups with services like alby (which is ok imo) is also fine, the issue with damus zapping is pretty much just an issue of how the UI looks

how can damus create a UI that doesn't look like a payment to the bureaucrats that review apps on the app store?

currently zapplepay supports only a fixed sum, but they can easily make a different sum for each different emoji (i.e: 🤙=21, ❤️=69, 🍑=420), for example

at the end of day it's an arms race, and every tactic is legit, just like every tactic the authority uses is legit in their strategy

failed to secure grant funding for a big part of damus android. Is vc inevitable? 😔 will keep trying elsewhere.

But telcos are still cucked.

Lucky for us they move slow AF

yea this is the strongest argument
