Hey @SwapMarket I have a question for you, because you know better how this thing works "under the belly".
Why not too many node runners do not join to Swapmarket and offer swap services ? I know is not easy to run such service, you need liquidity available, but also could be rewarded and there's a lot of demand, like LN channels too from LSPs.
Do you think they don't yet that could offer these services?

Well, Boltz backend is not exactly easy to configure. They don't give clear instructions for obvious reasons, but this regtest manual is a good start. I think someone tried to make sense of it and gave up.
Also, one must be a systems engineer to run all the parts reliably. If the backend loses the database in the middle of a swap, funds can be lost forever (rescue file is of no use without a way to construct the refund transaction, and front-end alone is unable to do it). So one must run postgress with real time replication to a remote location.
But, how many alternative backends do you need? Two is not enough?
