As promised, here is my repository for making sure that once you get some invoice and you feel like maybe it's malicious currently you could run this script to get a better conclusion. It is version 0.0.1 (Just started).

I hope you like the idea and feel free to ⚡ me and give some good feedback :)

The motivation for doing this is very simple. I had some very hard moments while doing transactions on some other shit networks :) Now, I want to do good for everyone because okay not today but in a month maybe someone will try to drain someone else wallet or do any other type of harm.

With the increasing adoption of the Lightning Network for Bitcoin payments, it is crucial to ensure the security of Lightning invoices. By incorporating checks to validate the authenticity of Lightning invoices, this Python script aims to protect users from malicious activity that can result in the loss of funds.

The script ensures that invoices have not already been paid, are not expired, and do not contain malicious content in their description. These checks help to ensure that users are making legitimate payments to valid recipients.

By taking the necessary precautions and utilizing tools such as this script, users can help to protect themselves and the wider Lightning Network community from fraudulent activity, promoting the secure and safe use of Lightning invoices for Bitcoin transactions.
