My thoughts:
1. Someone has to manage Liquidity. LSPs do and ASPs do. Users do not when they do. Further, ASPs have to also manage Lightning liquidity if they want to interoperate and bootstrap. So between Ark coins, Lightning, and on chain, there's a lot to manage liquidity for. And how can you verify the reserves if it comes in via LN?
2. How "scalable" is each ASP making an on chain transaction every 5 seconds? How many ASPs can exist before there's no blockspace left? Who is paying these costs? That's not free nor cheap.
3. If a single ASP goes down, all partipants (which can be a ton given that they are going for "scalability") need to withdraw their funds on chain within 4 weeks. How are they going to do that, when the claim is that it can support more people than LN but LN takes years to on board everyone because of chain space?
