I think it’s pretty simple: 1) apply the same review and QA standards to everyone regardless of contribution status on the project. 2) don’t let newfound productivity/output gains take precedence over the standards in #1
Easier said than done. Most CTOs are navigating this right now. Thankfully our CEO and CTO are the same person.

Largely, but not entirely.
Ark service providers have full visibility into all transactions within its Ark instance.
They will always be able to refuse you service, but you can unilaterally exit if they do.
The big self-custody issue is that without covenants, providers can collude with the previous VTXO owner to rug you.
tl;dr signigicant improvements over Ark, but still fraught, especially without covenants

Few things here you can try:
1) On Settings > Payments you can set your fee limits. Lowering the ceiling can decrease payment fees, but may also result in failed payments.
2) If you opened the channel to Olympus with your own on-chain funds, these chans have higher fees than LSP channels. You can press on the channel in the channels list and upgrade it to an LSP channel to get your routing fees reduced.

@npub1xnf…lpr5 wallet turns 7 today.
We'd like to take this moment to thank all our contributors, friends, family, partners, and most importantly, users — without whom none of this would be possible. There have been 63 code contributors, 153 translators, over a dozen designers, and now four full-time employees who have shipped 225 releases totaling over 5 million downloads.
Thousands of channels have been opened. Hundreds of Bitcoin have been routed.
Today we begin our first rollout of pre-alpha builds of our upcoming v0.13.0 release to ZEUS Pay+ subscribers and community sponsors. This release features a ton of major UX improvements including a new progressive "graduated wallet" flow that gently guides an absolute novice toward becoming a passionate power user, a brand new high-performance implementation of Cashu ecash, and an accompanying mint discovery and review system powered by your Nostr social graph. We eagerly anticipate your feedback as we roll out builds to more users over the coming weeks and months.
Here's to 7 more. ⚡
