There's a single key, so ultimately one point control of funds.. the other 4-10 people would be trusting the operator
Routing isn't something to be taken lightly and these are frankly noob questions, so why do you need to pool liquidity? Size and software comes from intent...
Why couldn't there be a Multi-Sig to open the channel?
Another question:
Would this group be better served by relying on a single "group-hosted" BTC node and all pointing their individual LN nodes at it?
reply
You could fund the channel from a group multisig, but the channel is still single party, the operator can close it to wherever they please unilaterally
Served in what way? If someone in the group is a serious routing operator then the others could connect with him instead of an LSP, not necessarily a benefit to that ... It's be about being able to get hold of them or trusting them if shit breaks
People that just want a custodian they know personally could have an account if the router runs Lightning.Pub or similar
