On FTF 32, Seth demos the whole thing live and goes deep on the technical decisions -- Spark's statechain model, privacy improvements over Wallet of Satoshi's implementation, why Arc wasn't the right fit for mobile, and what blind signing could mean for future privacy.
The practical takeaway: "if you can write down 12 words, you can use Lightning now. And you don't need a custodial wallet to do it."
