Lightning Network is quietly becomming where commerce and exchange happens, but you can't tell because it's impossible to know how much volume is being transacted on there. Each channel can be used millions of times in each direction with a single onchain transaction

However the point about making Bitcoin more moral with blocking "spam" has no basis because there is no consistent definition of what constitutes a spam transaction.
Is it more moral to block a transaction containing the original version of George Orewells 1984 amidst attempts to rewrite it?
The point of Bitcoin is to maintain and enforce the truth and not to take a position on morality

No I am in absolute agreement that you can block whatever transactions you want for any reason with your own node.

How is Rizful better than this - how are you protecting privacy with your email signups and lightning address server?

Yes the spark API can go down, but you still have unilateral exit onchain.
When there is a better option than Spark we'll migrate to that.
No solutions, only trade-offs.

"shilling surveillance" not what I was doing.
I think you're sacrificing the good at the expense of the perfect.
Most lightning users are likely using a custodial service or a side chain.
Phoenix is better than both of those options

Self custodial lightning is not broken, Pheonix wallet works perfectly.
However, noobs do not appreciate, and are therefore unwilling to pay for their own privacy and sovereignty.
We must use any tools we have which get noobs as close as possible while being as cost effective as possible until they have used and understand Bitcoin enough to then value their privacy and sovereignty.

The Bitcoin custody model is a delicate set of tradeoffs and reducing it to "selling out users" is wrong and completely unhelpful.
Everyone wants self-custody but the reality is noobs aren't ready to pay for it. The question is how close can we get while maintaining noob friendly UX

Spark has usability and cost benefits and small custodial risk, and provides for unilateral exit, but spark addresses kill user privacy.
Cashu provides for excellent privacy but has significant cusodial risk.
Question: Is it possible to put Cashu on top of Spark custody?

"is something like an ETF or bitcoin futures too antithetical to Bitcoin’s ethos?
It’s completely antithetical. Because what you’re talking about is centralized custodian holders who give you a fraction of the rights that having your own keys gives you. You have exposure to the monetary fluctuation. You don’t have any of the autonomy, empowerment, voting ability, participation ability, authority, and independent validation of transactions that you have as someone who holds the keys and uses bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency directly."
