Atomic isn't a feature, it's a means to an end. No special wallet is needed with a prism, Bob's serving a normal invoice as is Carol. If anything the wrapping coordination takes API enabled wallet more than a prism.
I can't believe you have me making pro-prism arguments btw...
Atomicity is not a feature. Carol is no more private than she would be with a Prism.
So atomicity isn't the goal, getting payments from Alice to Carol while taking a piece is. You'd buy regulator insurance for $1000/mo over Atomicity given the option? So atomicity is another name for scamming the regulator.
Sure if we conclude that predicting the future is an effort in futility, then why predict atomicity will sufficiently scam the regulator? We have no data to support that it will, could make the case for the opposite.
I'm not making the case for anything succeeding. I'm making a case that I would like for something to work because I like it's properties more than the opposite's. The opposite may work better. I never said the opposite doesn't work, only that it doesn't have the properties that my ideal solution would have.
Thanks so much for the conversation. I really did not appreciate this:
With wrapped invoices, the payer is getting the invoice from the party doing the wrapping. This is a completely trusted step in the process as the wrapper could wrap anything, or nothing.

My pleasure, happy to have elucidated that.
Just for my edification while I build out our solution, the preferred property referenced is the regulator scammability property?
reply
No. I'm not sure why you think I want to scam anyone, even regulators, or why you would think I'd believe this is a good scam. You could be trying to troll, in which case "ha," or you think I'm dumb, dishonest, or both, in which case you'll probably want to answer your question yourself.

Maybe it's because of my comment

Yea, I didn't coin this phrase and don't mean to imply it's nefarious.

I'm not using it as a pejorative, cat and mouse with regulators is necessary.
Indulge me as I'm trying to understand what property is being preferred so that I can be sure my solution possess that property.
