Bitcoin is comparatively simple! Lightning maybe less so 😅

Surprising to hear that considering all the different components that can be attacked and abused...

- Peer discovery

- mempool

- utxo set db

- bitcoin script

- pinning attacks

Etc.

Have you ever taken a serious look at TLS/X.509/Certificate Authorities/DNS Poisoning/BGP Hijacking……..? :)

No, but it feels intuitive that something that serves one purpose (AFAIK) would have less attack vectors than one that has many endpoints.

You might be surprised :)
