1.We'll have PoC around Ark? Please don't take my word for it, I've been historically wrong with deadlines, but it's fair to expect a prototype later this year.

2.Ark is compatible with Nostr? Yes, we plan to use Nostr as the transport layer for Ark; for things like out-of-band communications and coinjoin coordination.

3.What's scenario Ark with PayJoin? TBH, I don't really know what a PayJoin is and how it works.

4.It will have VC influence like LL, Blockstream? VC influence on the company, yes. VC influence on the protocol, no.

5.Why CTV is important for Ark? We need CTV (or a similar proposal) to make Ark work non-interactively. Non-interactive as in receiving funds on the go (without being online).
