With the new Spark Blink you can connect a BTCpay. You have instructions right into the app. You have to do the migration.
The bad thing is that Blink now uses Spark soooo:
- you will pay swap fees for EACH payment
- you will NOT use bitcoin, but a sidechain crap
- any payment will have possible issues due to the swaps.
You have been warned. Is time to ditch all these crap things, especially boycott the fucking spark.
warning received. 👀
You used Blink, a custodial lightning wallet. Spark has better trade-offs than custodial lightning.
bullshit. Is a sidechain pretending to be bitcoin through submarine swaps. A dangerous thing.
IT'S A TRAP WHERE MANY WILL FALL.
Is a sidechain
same shit.
At least a custodial service is sincere and tells you: these are not your coins meanwhile are in our custody. So user take the decision based on a truth not a lie.
Also let's never forget WHO is behind that Spark crap; the Marcus family, mafia.
KYC will come later, when will be applied to all spark providers.
Now is the trap being advertised as "non-custodial". LIES
Why Blink choose this path?
As Darth will no doubt point out, I seem to have a fascination for these trustodial setups.
I suppose it's all in the name of convenience and navigating regulation.
There seems to be a big chunk of users who do not want to run a lightning node and probably who do not want to manage channels.
Phoenix kinda solves it but phoenixd still means running a server.
Ecash solves it but then who is going to run the mint?
Bark and arkade solve convenience, but users still need to come online every month or two weeks and the unilateral exit isn't exactly easy.
Spark solves it but it seems like it's almost the same as custody. It seems to me that the tradeoffs between Spark and plain vanilla custody are more or less the same.
The big problem is that people talk about Spark like it's not custody. Which was what everyone used to dislike about ecash, if I remember correctly.
Do you see a strong difference between Blink's custody option and Spark?
Many thanks! So I guess things could stay unchanged: WooCommerce + BTCpay server + Blink.
Another thing that annoys me is that it's harder to pass Blink's verification with a burner number now. Has anyone found new tricks? ( I don't know should I even ask this in public 😹 )
