I just meant Boltz has an unfair advantage over PeerSwap. I tried building the latest Elements, mempoolinfo still shows minimal fee as 0.1.
Why is the advantage unfair?
I’ve never heard the phrase, fair advantage. I guess all advantage is unfair.
reply
Advantage can be fair if someone gets market share by offering a better price and quality of the product. It is unfair if there is an artificial handicap for competitors.

Is first mover advantage unfair? Boltz has been swapping liquid and lightning long before anyone else.

Boltz and Loop are for-profit centralized businesses. PeerSwap is an open source decentralized solution, saving cost for everyone who rebalance their channels. Bitcoin is about openness and freedom. I hate it when a corporation gets cost advantage for a year over open source alternatives. If you need to beta test, do it on testnet. Early access for a selected few is so fiat. First they said Q3, now EOY. PR was merged in May. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Or at least a conflict of interests. Boltz has no incentive to vote for public release!

Peer swap is not a liquid federation member?
Mystery solved!
Non members should not expect to have federation benefits.
It’s like Ukraine expecting NATO membership benefits. Maybe Ukraine is a bad example

Elements Project is the developer of Core Lightning, Elements Core and PeerSwap. They are part of Blockstream, a Liquid Federation founding member.
