GM! Then please show me a better option with accepting bitcoin with a nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqpzdmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82c30qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43...
You are not focusing on the right things and pushing those poor new bitcoin merchants into a trap.
All these fake "non-custodials" like Spark & Co. will end up in a KYC hammer and those users will regret it and will never have the RIGHT education about what really is Bitcoin.
Just because in your eyes "it works nice" with Spark it doesn't mean is REAL Bitcoin. Is just a damn submarine swap from another sidechain, controlled by Paypal mafia. Please study more these things before you start offering them in your consulting for new users.
Solution?
Sure. As a consultant you can also be a real "LN bank" for those newbies, until they can learn more to run their own infrastructure.
You do not have to be a big public routing node to be a "LN bank" for few friends and some small businesses that are not ready for running their own node.
Meanwhile teach them how to run their own LN node. I wrote a lot of guides about these scenarios. DID YOU READ THEM?
Even a damn simple Lightning Pub as a private backend LN node, using CLINK on BTCPay is 100x times much better than any crap Spark plugin !
Even a damn Zeus app on a tablet, running an embedded LDK node with a POS is 100x times better than any crap Spark.
Liquidity?
Damn it, why is so hard to open a fucking channel with a LSP and when the channel is full for so many payments, swap it out 90% and start over? Are you concerned about Boltz? Fuck Boltz! There are so many other swap services out there. Or be that swap provider for your clients you are consulting. Open your own swap service and add it to SwapMarket, where already are multiple ones, not just fucking Boltz.
I am tired of writing guides and people ignore them and fall for these crap traps.
But in the end I will be the one that will always say: I TOLD YOU SO.
