What about regtest?
Quote from EU regulation
This Regulation shall apply to transfers of funds, in any currency, which are sent or received by a payment service provider or an intermediary payment service provider established in the Union. It shall also apply to transfers of crypto- assets, including transfers of crypto-assets executed by means of crypto-ATMs, where the crypto-asset service provider, or the intermediary crypto-asset service provider, of either the originator or the beneficiary has its registered office in the Union
I don't like this setup based on following excerpt of the docs.
- Intercept the incoming HTLC
- Settle it itself instead of continuing forwarding it (by giving preimage to LSP)
- Open a channel to the wallet with push amount
The LSP can steal incoming payments.
In step 2 the LSP is granted custody of the incoming payment. The LSP-client can only hope that the LSP forwards the payment.
I am not a lawyer and just a dev. But processing payments on behalf of others and taking custody in the procesd might require a money transmitter license in your jurisdiction.
