💡 The need for constant and reliable energy is emphasized despite arguments of nuclear being too expensive.
🌍💣 Investing in nuclear energy may be the cheapest way to save the planet and civilization in case the claims of fossil fuels destroying the earth are true, according to a journalist.
The waste from nuclear energy can be reprocessed, and when contained properly, it has almost no impact on the surrounding environment.
Additionally, fossil fuel emissions are much worse and do exponentially more harm to the environment.
Meanwhile, actual human beings are getting phased out of healthcare in exchange for artificial intelligence (AI) robots, which are now reportedly overruling nurses at hospitals in making life-or-death decisions.
The waste generated by nuclear energy since the 1950s, if stacked 10 yards high, would fit on one American football field.
The waste can also be reprocessed, eliminating an extra 20-30% of the waste.
However, sending nuclear waste to the sun is "too expensive.

🔒 Challenges exist in protecting against liquidity griefing attacks from malicious peers in lightning's dual funded transactions.
🔒 An elegant solution is to not lock utxos used in dual funded transactions, but this is insufficient for 0-conf usage.
🔒 Nodes offering 0-conf services are at risk of liquidity griefing attacks.
📅 May 7th and May 31st, 2023
🗒️ Summary of two messages on dual-funded transactions and HTLC endorsement model vulnerability
📝 Dual-funded transactions using 0-conf channels pose a risk of liquidity griefing attacks and require isolation of utxos, while HTLC endorsement model introduces coupling effect between routing scoring algorithms and channel liquidity, with potential reputation system issues. It is suggested to use 'soft lock' when selecting utxos for non 0-conf funding attempts to avoid double-spending. To make dual-funded 0-conf safe, swap-in-potentiam addresses can be used for immediate transfer to a 0-conf Lightning channel. The HTLC endorsement scheme is vulnerable to reputation abuse during high routing fees and should aim for reputational transitivity.
🤔 The Lightning Network's reputation system is vulnerable to sudden changes in behavior and pricing variations between hops, potentially allowing for reputation sacrifice and loss of routing fees. Dynamic reputation windows may also affect payment reliability.
💰 A proposal to address liquidity griefing attacks in dual funded transactions by not locking UTXOs and using 0-conf channels with certain conditions.
👥 A proposed reputation scheme for Lightning Network involves tracking local reputation for each node's peers, with no gossip component. Reputation is slow and expensive to build, but sudden changes in behavior are short-lived. Good reputation is always examined relative to a node's recent routing activity.
💰💳 The Lightning Network's reputation system can be exploited by sudden changes in behavior or whitewashing attacks, but fees can be used to regulate reputation.
Nodes don't share reputation data with each other, and future decisions are based on data collection.
The value of reputation can change based on the overall environment, and the cost of maintaining a good reputation should match the potential damage a node can create.
🔍🤔 Reputation data can provide insights into future behavior, but it cannot guarantee security.
Reputation systems are not part of the Lightning Network protocol or P2P gossiping, and there may be competing reputation data providers and services.
While reputation data can be beneficial, it should not be relied on as a security guarantee.
In making decisions about potential channel counterparties, reputation data can be used to assess competence and reliability.
Reputation can be a valuable area for businesses and projects, but it is not a core issue of the Lightning Network protocol.
📅 May 11th, 2023
🗒️ Gossiping about reputations can lead to unreliable information and attackers can earn positive reputations elsewhere before attacking trusted nodes.
📝 In the Lightning Network, gossiping about reputations can lead to unreliable information and attackers can earn positive reputations elsewhere before attacking trusted nodes. Reputation systems in the network are also susceptible to sudden behavioral changes and whitewashing attacks, making them less useful. While large routing nodes may have sufficient data for them to make an informed decision, the edges may be more vulnerable, but they'd also be used by way fewer senders, and the impact of an attack would also be proportionally smaller. The proposal is to experiment with various local reputation schemes and data gathering, possibly even externally to LN implementations in projects like circuitbreaker. Endorsement and reputation are proposed as the first step in a two-part scheme for mitigating channel jamming.

🗒️ Reputation systems in Lightning Network are susceptible to sudden behavioral changes and whitewashing attacks, making them less useful.
📝 Reputation systems in Lightning Network are susceptible to sudden behavioral changes and whitewashing attacks, making them less useful. There is an interest in knowing how many repeat interactions nodes get from individual senders, as that tells us how much use we can get out of local-only reputation-based systems. The proposal is to experiment with various local reputation schemes and data gathering, possibly even externally to LN implementations in projects like circuitbreaker. Endorsement and reputation are proposed as the first step in a two-part scheme for mitigating channel jamming.
📅 May 10th, 2023
🗒️ A proposal to lock UTXOs after tx_completes have been exchanged to prevent double-spending in 0-conf channels, but it may not work for splicing.
📝 A proposal to lock UTXOs after tx_completes have been exchanged to prevent double-spending in 0-conf channels, but it may not work for splicing. It is not an issue if the untrusted peer sends their `tx_signatures` first since they're not contributing to the transaction, and we can `TryLock()` once we receive that. The proposal is to lock UTXOs after tx_completes have been exchanged IF we are the only contributor. This post was also made to raise awareness for implementers to make sure they don't end up accidentally double-spending 0-conf channels when implementing dual funding.
💰 The Lightning Network's HTLC endorsement model distinguishes between routing fees and reputation revenue.
Nodes with high reputation receive compensation for revenue lost during an attack.
However, there may be a coupling effect between routing scoring algorithms and endorsement schemes that needs to be considered.

📅 May 6, 2023
🗒️ The Lightning Network community is exploring data gathering and local reputation tracking to mitigate channel jamming, starting with a binary endorsement field.
In the first message, the writer suggests implementing an extension for CLN and offers to help with implementation details.
In the second message, the delay period for spending to_local output or HTLC outputs is discussed, and it is mentioned that LND handles their submission automatically.
In the third message, the Lightning Network community is exploring data gathering and local reputation tracking to mitigate channel jamming, starting with a binary endorsement field.
The goal is to experiment with different algorithms for tracking local reputation and gather real-world data for future simulation work.
🔒 : A common open specification for Lightning Service Providers (LSPs) could allow clients to switch between providers and protect their data from potential leaks or breaches.
Wallet implementers should consider implementing client-side interfaces for LSPS specifications.
