They're using it to push fedimints compatibility, effectively forking the network. It has no grassroots dev, just salaried and smug a-holes cashing checks from the spooks at Spiral and Blockstream. (and CIA money via the HRF) Well-funded groups on the digital dollar RFP, per the ECash Act floated around Congress 🫰 It will also make UX slow and unreliable because of it's Tor-like dependency, hurting adoption. The only mitigation for the performance tradeoffs is to turn lightning into a cloud-first centralized network, like greenlight. It doesn't add any capabilities that aren't done better with other proposals, which they gaslight ad infinitum. It's like they want to do things the worst way possible. Bad actors, bad tech, bad outcomes.
