You seem concerned about “surveillance and top-down control” yet you offer a YOLO custodial service without any legal basis. You just decided one day you’ll custody people’s money?! And despite being such a privacy advocate, you didn’t go with hosting a Cashu mint, but the old school “I’ll monitor all my users’ activities”. Rizful suffers from the worst type unaccountable control and surveillance risk possible. Many such services have been shut down or have rugged their users. People are incomparably safer on Spark than with Rizful.

Sure -- but is it too much to ask for LightSpark to be honest about the service they are offering? They seem to be marketing it as "self-custodial".... when in fact it's nothing of the kind, and users have no choice but to allow LightSpark to collect sensitive data like their I.P. address and browser details? But in principle -- Rizful vs. LightSpark -- you are basically right. There's nothing necessarily better about Rizful. But: Rizful isn't literally a Lightning "compliance" company with prominent ties to Israel? Maybe that matters? Again -- for users who actually give a shit -- use a proper solution like Alby Hub. For all others, do your research about who you are "doing business with" and don't be taken in by false claims about "self-custody" or think that "no KYC" means that there won't be "eventual KYC".....
