Some things that I think are incredibly cool about this:
  • gives you a guarantee for a year as a buyer! one thing we're talking about at the protocol level is how hard we should make this guarantee: is it something we should leave as a soft promise or should we enforce it in the signed contracts that the seller can't move their funds?
  • gets the user experience of liquidity ads into more peoples hands, before we nail the spec down! one of the hard things about protocol development is how long it takes for that to impact users. ACINQ is doing an amazing job of getting this into users hands to try it out and experiment with before we finalize how the spec works.
