Gm @fiatjaf (and @1b11ed41…98835d6d ) Thanks for making hosted channels a thing (actually thanks for this whole suite of tools and ideas). I think these make a comeback

They were actually designed by Anton Kumaigorodski, creator of BLW and SBW, the two best Lightning wallets ever made. And there is a spec here: https://github.com/lightning/blips/blob/master/blip-0017.md

Yes, but they're probably not worth the trouble anymore. Just Cashu is better and simpler.

The best bit with this is we can use existing tech and upgrade seamlessly. You can just run an lsp that supports hosted channels, the wallet does not need to know much more.

Eh, we can seamlessly upgrade to self-custody from a hosted channel by broadcasting an on-chain txn and use a lot of existing tooling to get there.

It's a custodial balance, it has the same features as any custodial balance.
