Hi - thanks for the Ark write up; I have a bunch of questions but here's 2:

Q1:
"Pool transactions are created by ark service providers perpetually
every 5 seconds"
What exactly happens every 5 seconds? From the 15.44.21-p-1080.png
diagram [1], a pool transaction is a bitcoin transaction, wi
This has been brought up several times in the past, and I agree with
Jonas' comments about users being unaware of the privacy losses due to
BIP37. One thing also mentioned before but not int he current thread
is that the entire concept of SPV is not applicable to unconfirmed
transactions. SPV use

may be possible to have non-interactive partial aggregation of the
signatures on a per-block basis. This could save quite a bit of space. It

Mempool transactions have their place, but "unconfirmed" and "SPV" don't
belong together. Only a full node can tell if a transaction may get
confirmed, or is nonsense. Unfortunately all the light / SPV wallets I
know of show mempool transactions, which makes it hard to go back... (e.g.

Hi-
One concern is that this doesn't seem compatible with Lightning as
currently written. Most relevant is that non-cooperative channel close
transactions in Lightning use OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY, which references the
sequence field of the txin; if the txin doesn't have a sequence number,
OP_CHECK
