What attacks does trusting someone else's full node enable? Obviously there are block withholding attacks, but would it be possible to provide blocks that are selectively missing transactions or forge payments?
I'm trying to understand what checks are happening in lightning (e.g. checking signatures on transactions?) and what are assumed to have happened in the full node.
I'm not asking as a criticism of the design choice. I just want to know who would want to go through the work of setting up a full node versus just rocking a lightning node by itself (and using other people's full nodes).
If you have a software architecture diagram of Alby that you can link me to, that might address a lot ofv my questions.
OK, the MPPT boards can output up to 1A, which means 4.2W. So probably one per panel.
But now I realized I only know the voltage of my panel, not the current (it's homemade). I'll have to see if I gave any info on the cells that I used when I built these panels more than a decade ago.
I can't measure more than 1A worth my meter, but borrowing a better ammeter is my backup plan.
RAK Wireless gear. I'm probably going to switch to the meshtastic starter kit because it'd actually be cheaper than buying boards without any USB connector (strangely enough).
If it's running it's own node, where dies it get chain data? It isn't running a full bitcoin node, is it?
After ordering a bajillion different connectors and waiting for them to arrive, I have now made a nearly complete prototype of my #solar #meshtastic #radio node.
The current sensor is a bust l. When the battery is dead, the solar panel can't power the device or charge the battery pack if run through the current sensing circuit. I'll double check the documentation to make sure I didn't miss anything, but that's looking like it's going to be a bummer.
And I say *nearly* complete because I haven't wired in the MPPT board to make the most out of the #solar cell. (Hmm, I should check the current limit on that to figure out how many solar panels it can handle... hopefully at least one, ideally multiple in parallel).

This site looks like it has some cool stuff and a lot of absolute garbage mixed in. At $20, I can't imagine the jeans are high quality, but they do get style points.
Thanks for taking the time to explain that.
I look forward to tinkering around with this.
That one on the left is for when you want your network to rock! One end goes in the amp for your electric guitar and the other end goes onto your switch.
At least that is what I imagined when I saw it.
As for the one on the right... I can't even
That makes sense. I know not all software supports muti-path.
Would adding a small channel impede moving larger payments, or is the minimum just a mechanism to make sure you have at least one big inbound channel that can do the heavy lifting?
That'd be swell. 🙂 I'll make sure to set the routing fees to all zeros if you'll put up with tiny toy channels. (20-100K)
That's more than I'm willing to lose if I screw something up. I was poking around on 1ml dot com and found that most want a minimum of at least 500K.
I was thinking more along the lines of 20-100K range.
Since inbound channels are free, what is the benefit of setting a minimum?
I get not wanting to pay a chain fee to open a 20K sats channel, but I'm willing to spend that money as the cost of learning.
He's too old for this sh*t
Any bitcoin lightning node runners want a small amount of inbound liquidity? I want to set up a channel for my newly spun up lightning node to play around with it.
It won't cost you any sats, but you will have to put up with my potential fuck ups until I figure out what I'm doing (and maybe even after I figure out what I'm doing).
I'm always skeptical when I see splitting like this and there's no link to the supposed story.
But this time the story checked out:
Dr Hax, did you stay up all night playing with your computer?
Me: 😳 maaaybe
Why would you do that?!
Me: well there was this bug in the automation that deploys lightning nodes, so I had to fix that, test it, and submit it upstream
But then I had a lightning node, and how could I NOT create a wallet and send it some loot?
And obviously I wanted to control my node via Zeus, so I had to set up lets encrypt, do some more port forwarding and haproxy configs.
I regret nothing

I like the zap/split idea. I feel like it should be a URL and/or QR code so peope can zap from any device.
Desperately need a way to pull in non-coders. Social people who cam spread the word. Power users who can help field questions. Artists to make cool graphics. These people are vital to bring able top work at scale.
