Who is doing the custody for this LNTXBOT?
Here is the message from Signal support: Any cryptocurrency wallets that we include support for also have to work well from within Signal. This would mean:
  1. Integration is “non-custodial”: Signal does not have access to your keys or your funds; that information remains associated with your own wallet.
  2. Like everything else in Signal, data is private: all your data stays in your hands rather than being visible to others.
  3. Transactions are fast: like Venmo, it can only take a few seconds to send a transaction.
  4. Everything works well on mobile: it can’t require downloading and scanning all ongoing transactions in order to find your own.
  5. The experience is simple: in most other ways the experience should be the same as something like Venmo.
  6. It can scale to hundreds of millions of people.

I don’t think Bitcoin could possibly meet those requirements. How can anyone be mad at Signal for not implementing something that doesn’t meet their needs?

data is private
The only way this would be possible with Lightning is if Signal doesn’t host a node for their users.
And if they don’t do that, then there really isn’t even an integration, is there?
