I mean I like Justin, he’s always been a good guy, but I don’t see the same on this issue for sure. I also can’t see how Ark does anything other than provide a net benefit to the entire Lightning ecosystem either. It seems like it really serves the role of “channel factories” that we neve...

Keep fishing for those narratives scammer, you'll find one eventually. You've never built a damn thing, just a shill for hire and not even a good one. My stuff isn't even packaged for distribution, and you're only on Nostr because of the original ShockWallet I built in my spare time. https://blo...

Around 360 sats in total (one single transaction). It consists of ~340 sats of ”virtual coins" (listed in settings) and ~20 sats (”subdust”?; nowhere listed in settings).

Thanks for the quick update! When you say "server" I guess you mean Ark Service Provider? And multiple other servers can be setup, by a variety of individuals and organizations, using that open sourc...

Servers should be run by professional entities and there is little incentive to have too many small servers.

Indeed, every user can use Lightning to interact with one another but Ark operates best in a hub and spoke model (just as Lightning nowadays really).

I don't want a single server dominating, and that important for lots of reasons I'm not saying I expect a billions of servers to appear, but - if Ark eventually succeeds in onboarding a billion users - then I don't want it to be dominated by just a dozen servers. I'd like to see many thousands of s...

Thanks for the quick update! When you say "server" I guess you mean Ark Service Provider? And multiple other servers can be setup, by a variety of individuals and organizations, using that open source software? If Alice is connected to server X and Bob is connected to server Y, then I assume/hope ...

Are there assets in ark? Can they be transferred between ASPs?
Leslie kimberly · 25w
That’s exciting news Bitcoin keeps evolving beyond just being a store of value. As a forex trader, I’m always watching how these developments impact global liquidity and currency dynamics. Arkade sounds like a big step toward making Bitcoin more functional and scalable in real use cases I’ll d...

Nice. We setup a wallet and then what?
ihsotas · 25w
Is this using nostr keys? 🤯

Is there a way to collaborate / contact support, without installing (and paying for) a proprietary messaging app?
nostrich · 25w
All this app did is make my lightning sats disappear when I send it. Tried with multiple lighting apps. This is alpha software at best.
freethinkingperson · 25w
Pls explain to me / ELI5 in a few bullets what are some things this does?
SatsAndSports · 25w
Who are 'Arkade'? I think I have a reasonable understanding of the tech (vUTXOs, 'rounds', ASPs), but I curious about the community around it. Is Arkade a community of FOSS people, or a commercial profit-making entity? I couldn't find any of that info on the wallet I'm really excited to use Ark(a...

Is it a bug that you cannot send max amount if you pay inside ark? Error: "Failed to send bitcoin: Error: Insufficient funds" Also after sending some amount inside ark the "change" is not listed in coin control (virtual coins). It's also not listed in "Notes"🤷‍♂️
cadayton · 24w
Non-starter for me. I need more background on what the app is up to.

Sure. If Spark releases software that anyone can run, that does not "phone home" to LightSpark.com, and allows me to exit out of their ecosystem onto onchain Bitcoin, that does seem at least fairly cl...

Self custody has no concept of privacy. By your standards most people self custodying are not actually self custodying. This does not align with reality.

Unfortunately you don’t seem to understand how these systems work. We have docs if you’re interested.

Got it! Still hoping that Arkade finds a way to be decentralized....

Sure. If Spark releases software that anyone can run, that does not "phone home" to LightSpark.com, and allows me to exit out of their ecosystem onto onchain Bitcoin, that does seem at least fairly close to "self custody". BTW -- I think Ark should think about this, and when you are ready to go con...
