"In my experiments, I was able to create hundreds of thousands of fake channels against victim nodes (owned by me), with all kinds of adverse effects. In some cases, funds were clearly at risk of being stolen due to the victim node’s inability to respond to cheating attempts"

"The fact that this DoS vector went unnoticed since the beginning of the Lightning Network should make everyone a little scared. If a newcomer like me could discover this vulnerability in a couple months, there are probably many other vulnerabilities in the Lightning Network waiting to be found and exploited."

New LN bug just dropped. Not okay for Monero to hardfork, but ok when LN does it. Better go hardfork to keep your funds SAFU πŸ˜‚

You have no idea, retard. Lightning networkS are just L2 plugins. Of course you can hard fork them. You can create your own flavor too. It's a tor on top of #Bitcoin

Hard forking L1 shows how centralized your shirtcoin is - kicking everyone who disagrees, out.

It's pointless to argue when you're clearly holding #Bitcoin alongside because deep down you know what an absolute digital scarcity is and that a temporary privacy is pointless.

What if I don't like the changes of the next Lightning Network hardfork??? You gonna "kick me off the network"?

No, there is no contradiction, I can hold any variety of anything I find useful for different reasons. I don't have to go all into a single thing like a smooth brain ape like yourself.

If you don't like the changes on one LN flavor, you can switch to another, retard.

If you don't like the changes the monero elite decides for you, you're kicked out.

So you hold #Bitcoin and multiple random shirtcoins? Much clever πŸ€™πŸ’œ
