RE: Breaking the ethos of Bitcoin: avoid the Alby and GetAlby Project

Really sad to hear if that is really the case. What about the Liquid Network? Have you looked into that Bitcoins L2, would that change the situation? Or a different „Host“ than Alby?

Sort:  

I can't even be bothered with Liquid: as far as I can see the tech stack is a side chain which is inferior to Hive in every reasonable way.

I meant Liquid as an alternative to Alby/classic Lightning. Hive of course is a different breed.

The only reason I'm still using Lightning is because a significant VC investment has gone into pushing it out to actual retail users at the end of long, expensive and centralised systems. As far as I can see Liquid hasn't had that.

Maybe they try to stay away from VC? I know that Samson Mow and Adam Back are working there and the last is an old Cypherpunk that probably likes to stay independent. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don't want VC but if I can piggyback on and use the stuff they pay for.... that's different!

Got that. Just thought it might be an alternative. Maybe not now. 👍🏻
