What is the use case for Arca versus an Umbrel? Umbrel for picture and non sensitive storage and Arca can save highly sensitive items like passwords or seeds?

Demanding 600 Bitcoin after you stole all of someone’s money is utterly insane

Bro WTF? Everything about their theft is uncommon compared to white hat. You can’t steal and then extort, that isn’t how white hat works. There’s an inherent power balance where you’re “negotiating” with your victim of whom you stole their money. If I break into your house and steal all your shit, will you feel all good if I offer to give most back?

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

Seedless is safer is an attack on Bitcoin. Bitkey makes totally reasonable tradeoffs for noobs with modest stacks. But this is dishonest marketing at best.
