I’ve heard a bit about Ark and VTXOs over the past year or so but until there’s an implementation we can put to the test, it’s just theoretical.
I’ll be a fan of whatever works best to scale ...
Hey Daniel, I'll do!
We currently don't support lightning, that's true.
I'm a Lightning early adopter so you can clearly understand how much I want to use Edge to make LN payments.
Unfortunately we are not still ready for that, for a few reasons:
Onboarding would be difficult for the majority of our user base
Hard for them to manage liquidity (the current SDK options do not support splicing yet, as far as I know)
Success rate of payments (it's actually improved a lot lately, so that might not be a big issue anymore!)
In the meantime, I use Breez and Phoenix wallet.
As for Ark, it's no longer theoretical. There are a couple of implementations currently in development, check ArkLabs and Second.
They are in testnet, and probably out in mainnet later this year.
