More people using Coinos and other custodials = more trouble. They will fuck up those nice services, dedicated for specific use cases (onboarding merchants for payments) not for using with SN. Now CoinOS will have another task to take care of their shit, managing a liquidity that they didn't expect it and that will have implications in everything: fees, failed payments, more relays etc. Also once they will have too many users, will be a target too...
As I said in this guide Private banks over LN, years ago, encouraging node runners with good experience to start offering these kind of services to their local communities, friends etc, where with a small group you can handle all the liquidity in a different way then for thousands and thousands unknown users.
Example is https://lnvoltz.com, is a small private bank in Brazil, offering these kind of accounts to small group of people.
The whole idea is to have as many small LN banks we can, spread all over the world. THAT is some kind of decentralization, not gathering all inside CoinOS and Blink.
But nooo, people prefer to fuck each others instead of helping each others. And also running a LN bank REQUIRE knowledge and good infrastructure, not just a shity PC with an Alby Hub using (again) CoinOS liquidity...
You understand what I mean?
Yes
between SN and them will not be fees. But will be fees when they want to move those funds to other wallets. That is ROUTING and routing means fees.
And I don't understand this latest urge to open channels with CoinOS?
There are several many other LSPs out there much better for this use case than CoinOS node.
ofc they will have troubles. They do not think that for CoinOS this is an extra effort to take care... is not the same having a natural increase in number of users slowly and organized in some way, than just suddenly a thousand of new users, zaping each others back and forth (sometimes for nothing) and keeping the infrastructure at normal levels (relays, connections, servers, liquidity etc).
Soon CoinOS will increase the fees and will start putting more restrictions and in this way will fuck up something that was nice. And for what? For some damn zaps on SN from assmilkers?
