1,600 bitcoin or ~30% of the clearnet node capacity of the Lightning network resides on AWS.

What could possibly go wrong?

And presumably over 90% resides on other people's servers.

Pwahahaha wow 🤯 funds def not safu

who cares

i think it still works good enough

i made some transactions today

no problem

but yes i wouldnt use AWS

Yeah just do some lightning transactions

i got no problem today using the lightning network

but yes if you got onlay one wallet and this uses AWS

then you are maybe in trouble

but just run 2 or 3 lighting wallets

I used to lease 1/12 of the entire transatlantic Internet capacity back in the1990's 😂

What goes around, comes around.

Waiting for the force close. Maybe then people realise that the cloud is just someone else's computer with all the downsides of not controlling it yourself and some marginal fiat price upside.

Alibaba 2.92% 🤔

Really goes to show how centralized decentralized finance has become.

Any Phoenix LSP users affected?

This recently came up in a recent debate that should not be named because people have dumb blockers on certain words...

I figure it won't be a huge number, but I wonder how many of those are proxy nodes for for home users so they don't dox their home IP? How many of them are businesses? Do the mining companies actually run their nodes in house or do they run them on the cloud?

Not mine, though

I've been open for business all day

I'm bringing this up twice a year and all I get is "yadda yadda VPS, yadda yadda I can switch in 5 minutes" and Calle calling me a troll.

be the 70%

It is not very decentralized. 👀

But anyway this stat is concerning, since there are also a lot of nodes under GCP, DigitalOcean and other clouds.

I run my own node, it won't guaranty that my LSPs don't host on any clouds, though

Embarrassing 🙈

That is just concerning at this point

lightning

Nice lesson to those relying on centralized nodes.

Some are just custom VPNs to residential nodes

#NDN instead

Fuuuck 😲 get your shit together people.

im actually pleasantly surprised at the diversity in this chart.

Quite dumb of us

Lightning was never something to be permanent it's a custodial solution nobody runs LN nodes. Again this is all nostr:nprofile1qqs0m40g76hqmwqhhc9hrk3qfxxpsp5k3k9xgk24nsjf7v305u6xffcpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7l3vw43 fault.
