 There are mitigations built into this system using Nostr. Users submit signatures of each hash with their Nostr key and wallets can be configured to verify them.

We’ve been very forthcoming with the tradeoffs of all our services, and to say that we haven’t is disingenuous. 
 Bloody hell, you're really laying on the bullshit today.

This conversation started when you said...

> Our service is not custodial.

You're the one that claimed your service was not custodial. 

I called you out for this bullshit claim.  And now your trying to play the victim by insinuating that made I've made false claims about you.

You inserted yourself into a conversation to advertise your service by making a false claim that your service was not custodial.

And now, you've finally admitted that your original claim was indeed a lie and your service is custodial and you can indeed rob people of their Bitcoin.

I never told any lies, you did. Everything I've said in this conversation is the truth. You've done nothing but try and hide the fact that people have to trust you with their Bitcoin if they use your service.

Which is the exactly the same risk everyone takes if they are using a lightning address service that they don't personally own themselves. You're no different than anyone else providing this service, except that you lie and say yours is not custodial.

 
 Except that we are different, specifically in that senders have a way to verify that invoice preimages have in fact been generated by the receiver, as we’ve detailed above. 
 What's your name?  What's your company address and phone number?  

If you won't even say who you are, why should people trust you?  

You're different?  You're anonymous. Why should anyone trust you,  

What makes you any more trustworthy than every other scammer that said 'trust me bro'?

So, you admit that you can choose to stop processing payments and keep them yourself?  And people should just trust a bunch of anonymous nobody's because you're different?

I'll say it again and I dare you or anyone to say I'm wrong.

The only way to have a non-custodial lightning address is to own the domain name and run your own lnurlp server.

Anyone that says anything different is lying and should not be trusted.

Anyone that says their lightning address service is non-custodial is a liar.  


 
 LOL we are not anonymous. You can look up who we are on our website, GitHub, social media, various other places where we’ve made public appearances.

This whole thread you’ve just revealed you’ve done zero research on us or our offerings and with each post you continue to move the goalposts.

We’ve already spent too much time engaging with you. Best of luck on your journey.
