Many will say we don't need all this, shitcoins etc., but I believe that in times of high fee in the main chain, any means can and should be used that in a non-custodial way to help reduce costs to rebalance Lightning channels, for example. Your experiences and use cases are interesting.

I use atomic swaps between Lignting Network (LN) and Liquid (L-BTC). Going LN to L-BTC helps me maintain channel balance. Open a new channel, atomic swap to L-BTC, and you have instant, inexpensive inbound capacity.

I also send smaller amounts of LN to L-BTC to accumulate until I have a "right-sized" UTXO to send to cold storage.

I am using Blockstream Jade to self-custody the L-BTC, well as much as that is really possible.

Great, roughly a similar scheme I use personally.

Always the best from any side. You can run node and build something or you can use a convinient wallet and it will be working in a very predictable fashion. Fast. I have no idea why Tron USDT is more popular than liquid USDT because liquid is simply better. Not to say anything about lending on HodlHodl.

reply

Because Tron is more hyped than Liquid. But that's slowly changing.

No. Tron is the pure network effect. It has almost nothing besides USDT.

Good luck finding people to answer this question

The only use case for Liquid is this:

all the rest is just a scam making you think is useful. You have been played.

Your answer is known in advance, so I was more interested in the responses of those who actually use Liquid and benefit from it.

reply

Those who use it, are clueless what they are doing.
Is like asking a home wife how a car engine works.
