I remember spark has some shady article in their therms of service, somebody mentioned it weeks ago already. But didn't pay much attention since I'm not directly affected. Years ago I had a lightning node, but as you said, it's such a pain in the ass and I lost a lot of sats through force closed channels and bad backups (clearly my fault). Maybe these days it's more convenient to do it.

Terms of service -- doesn't really matter much here. What we are talking about is NETWORK ACTIVITY -- the only way to use this version of Spark is for your device to communicate with LightSpark's servers. There's no other way. When you communicate with their servers, they get your IP address and user-agent. Sure, you could use a VPN. But, like, how many @npub1juga...fc28 users or Wallet Of Satoshi users know that they need to ALWAYS use a VPN when using these apps, otherwise they are completely exposed??

Lots of more automatiom tools to handle liquidity etc. Even marketplaces to sell your liquidity. Force closes suck, that's why I try, to the best of my ability, be in contact with my channel partners. Easier said then done of course!

Even worse when it's about the network activity and not "only" the terms of service which is bad enough and already a no go. Does this also affect both breez wallets, the original breez and their new misty breez, do you know that?
