What are you doing to address the speed of swaps? In real-world testing I've seen a Lightning <> Liquid swap take around 30 seconds, in some cases longer. This is a major friction point for retail. Tap-to-pay customers and merchants are expecting a near-instant payment confirmation, and when they have to sit there awkwardly waiting for a payment to be accepted, it can cause anxiety and disillusionment.
100%. We feel the same as we use Boltz-powered wallets ourselves as daily drivers. We recently did some investigation with Bull Bitcoin and turns out much of the delay is on client side. So we are working with implementations to get these down. There is no technical reason why a Boltz Liquid swap for a merchant payment shouldn't complete end to end in sth like 5 seconds end to end.

Absolutely, we got a BTCPay plugin that does exactly that. Read more about it here: https://blog.boltz.exchange/p/launching-the-boltz-btcpay-plugin (ignore the "Beta", it's a stable product by now).

You are a total loser if you are fooled to use Liquid crap.
