BTW -- you can only "spend" small amounts in USDT on Rizful. You can't deposit, you can't "hold" USDT, etc.
Rationale is something like: "if you're going to withdraw, and you're about to have to give money to Binance anyway to convert this Lightning withdrawal to to USDT, then sure, if it's a small amount, you can do it here, instead, after you look at our big fat warning about why USDT sucks."
But overall, your comments/concerns definitely have merit.
I think we're pretty clear.. and have been clear from the beginning: If you want the perfect self-custodial solution, you should run your own node -- either using our guide https://docs.megalithic.me/category/set-up-a-lightning-node -- or running Alby Hub, which, when you run on your own hardware (or in their cloud, really..) , is a very good solution. (And you'll never have to see the word "USDT" anywhere!)
