thanks nick, does this not imply that transactions to and from cashapp users are included in the published numbers? is it fair to say it is unreasonable to extrapolate these numbers to other routing nodes?

Tyler was likely the one that pulled that data. This was all outside of Cash transactions. Theres still a lot to be made out there if you know where to put your liquidity, but that edge fades over time (as word gets out that we were doing well!) The most will be made by being a real economic actor on the network. But there are still plenty of places that need liquidity and that is a constantly growing and changing need.

>is it fair to say it is unreasonable to extrapolate these numbers to other routing nodes? absolutely. c= has a few advantages but the main one is our proximity to a service that facilitates real payments from real people over lightning. this proximity creates the liquidity dynamic that let us earn routing fees from the public network (where cash app is neither the upstream nor downstream channel partner).
