Right. I'm aware of the privacy benefits of ecash. I really like what @EVAN KALOUDIS did with onboarding normies FAST and with good privacy on ecash.

I get what Spark is trying to accomplish and it makes sense from a UX perspective but I worry that it starts to fall into the "stablecoin" range of trade offs where you have censorship resistance and too few throats to choke.

Admittedly, there's still a pretty big gap here to close. One of the things our team is working on it.

I don't really remember, but I was asking it questions about eth and solana stuff and it was nice to get results that I normally cant find using google or other search engines

So far it seems like Spark is like the midpoint between Super Cucked Coinbase KYC and Self Custody Cryptoanarchy Paranoia.

Better than the former but still at least semi vulnerable to censorship and surveillance. Probably a net positive because it bridges a UX gap that gets people to the next phase "how do I get this to cold storage"?

I haven't looked, but probably. If they are offering a no KYC wallet it is almost certainly spark

Thanks Evan. That's kind of what I expected. Probably not bad for low amounts/training wheels for normies but still not ideal. I do worry that those big companies behind it could be compelled to censor/surveil the way stablecoin providers are.

Has anyone done a deep dive on the privacy implications of Spark? It seems awesome from a UX perspective just want to understand what if any holes there are on privacy #asknostr

It's an account based system and you use their LN node to make outbound payments. The Spark service operators know your payment history, balances, and everyone you paid to. LN's onion routing makes is very difficult to tell who paid you though.

Spark can see all the transactions but like anything on lightning, they can't see who the senders are. So overall I would say privacy is quite bad, not good for privacy. But for public zaps, it's very good

GM, I gave one of my agents pullthatupjamie.ai and it was cool to see it pay for the API and then return links to podcast clips :)

You've already recommended me to use an AI to figure out your software 3 other times, if you don't actually want to talk about your software, I can stop asking questions and go fuck myself.

Bro I :
- wrote you an answer to each of your individual questions
- Sent you a link to another post that answered your question
-Recommended you a methodology that would answer all your questions or future questions in less than 30s per shot (AI).

I'm trying to be helpful. Let's keep it classy.

Appreciate the help, but AI can't replace human experience, I've seen dramatic health shifts from animal-based diets alone.
