the situation in Israel right now demonstrate how problematic it is to incentivise the public to be mostly indebted in mortgages and have other savings "locked" in pension schemes

guess what hackernews item i clicked?
htlc size is part of protocol gossip. it can be set on all implementations
as i understand this attack is risking routing hops, having both incoming and outgoing HTLCs
nothing special. i set it to 501,000 sats (the 1,000 to give some leeway for fees on a rounded 500,000 payment)
regardless of the replacement cycling attack, it's a good practice to limit the size of your routed HTLCs anyway. few are the payments that need more than 1mil sats, and rebalancers will use whatever you give them anyway and do it in parts
default node settings are to have the limit at the size of the channel itself, which is wayyyy more than needed and is just needless risk. do it right now to reduce any kind of risk, as theoretical as it might be
