I have decide to stop with my lightning node.
Too risky.
Also got another force close of WalletOfSatoshi

I think this new class of replacement cycling attacks puts lightning in a
very perilous position, where only a sustainable fix can happen at the
base-layer, e.g adding a memory-intensive history of all-seen transactions
or some consensus upgrade. Deployed mitigations are worth something in face
of simple attacks, though I don't think they're stopping advanced attackers
as said in the first full disclosure mail.
Those types of changes are the ones necessitating the utmost transparency
and buy-in of the community as a whole, as we're altering the full-nodes
processing requirements or the security architecture of the decentralized
bitcoin ecosystem in its integrality.
On the other hand fully explaining why such changes would be warranted for
the sake of lightning and for designing them well, we might need to lay out
in complete state practical and critical attacks on a ~5 355 public BTC
ecosystem.
Hard dilemma.
There might be a lesson in terms of bitcoin protocol deployment, we might
have to get them right at first try. Little second chance to fix them in
flight.
I'll be silent on those issues on public mailing lists until the week of
the 30 oct. Enough material has been published and other experts are
available. Then I'll be back focusing more on bitcoin core.
Best,
Antoine
If this is really serious you would have seen more lightning nodes closed. Still
5371.59 BTC in the lightning network. High FUD rating imo
If you tip here in Malta they feel insulted. You often hear: "Do you think i'm that poor?"
Wonder if there are people dare to say they don't see the problem 🤣
In the Netherlands you are at the whole airport including gates and even in restaurants not allowed to film.
Pretty amazing this has been recorded. Mostly at security you are not allowed to film with your phone.
Here in Malta we already have at least one barber who accepts #bitcoin
With lightningnetwork.plus to have the possibility to choose what kind of contract you want to engage with other nodes to ensure a certain amount of liquidity back (duo, triangular, rectangular or pentagon). And you can messaging with each other about certain fees or other kind of requirements even after the connection has been made. But #amboss and #1ml.com I still use to post some kind of billboard message in case my node goes down before a maintenance or accident.
How many nostr:npub19tcpurtt6xulhw0r6sc404j9jraj0h8me2lzs7z2tqewz7l0hpas59nlea-connected noderunners do we have out here? We’d like to learn more about how Amboss tools fit into your operation and what more you’d like to see.
Lightningnetwork.plus is a more useful tool to connect to other nodes for me. If you don't know them yet, please check it out.
More war. More debt. Higher rates. Not so good for #bitcoin
The value of mainstream in a nutshell
Two articles two outcomes
Node Up and running again.
Unfortunately again rescan
Happened after the https://www.zdnet.com/article/patch-now-this-serious-linux-vulnerability-affects-nearly-all-distributions/
2023-10-06 15:15:28.744 [INF] LNWL: Started rescan from block 0000000000000000000bff39e6f912e50d933ab77e71e02cfcd9a5131496a1ad (height 666362) for 2608 addresses
Can take a while
There is no where a rescan flag active in my configuration.
Still after a reboot the rescan occurs.
