Where does liquid fall on the spectrum?

Essentially I would personally trust liquid with at least a few million sats. I don't think it's something I would personally keep more than a quarter of a Bitcoin on it though. That may change of course and that level is different for everyone. But it's a great tool to have a few million sats on if and when high on chain fees happen and you need to do anything with lightning. You scan swap liquid to ln, so it's really cheap to manage liquidy on a lightning node with liquid even in high fee environments.

It's private and you can hold it yourself. Fees are cheap. Blocks are fast. And now it has more expressive smart contracts. You only need trust liquid federation and the trust model makes it so that it would be extraordinarily unlikely for a majority of the federation to collude to steal funds. 12 out of 15 functionaries must agree and sign each block. The functionaries are overseen by the federation members which there are a ton of now. That's all overseen by full nodes verifying everything that you can run yourself.

Maybe true, but I don't trust it.

Yes. But I'm looking for something as simple as WoS.

Ask yourself why you hold the opinion for 1 and 2. Are they actually reasonable? Ecash is just software and another tool in the toolbox.

Lightning IS retarded. Ecash is the solution you want unless you wanna pull yourself up by your bootstraps and run your own lightning node. Beggers can't be choosers.

Web apps aren't sketchy inherently. But they're easy to make and it's easy to fuck up security if you don't know what you're doing.

Because from what I understand of it, in it's current form, it's a convoluted hokey mess. I also don't trust those who have been pushing/coding it. I don't see how ecash is a solution to lightning being retarded. This just seems like exponential retardation, and that's a recipe for really bad thing...

I just want something to zap conveniently and receive zaps without a hassle. Into today, WoS worked fine, but... The last update borked it and I lost the sats. Granted, that's inevitable since I'm in the US... But it kinda stings a bit. 🤣

I should've added our co-op CashApp $LittleWrens

Also, thank you so much!
