Hi,
An quick update on progress with our statechain implementation which we are
pressing ahead with - we have started work on a version in Rust (
https://github.com/commerceblock/mercury) that is based on the 2P ECDSA
gotham-city wallet from KZen (https://github.com/KZen-networks/gotham-city),
and
I think that one of the solutions here is to have light clients choose
their full node tethers explicitly. Even if you think it is unrealistic to
have everyone run their own node (fwiw, I don’t), there is still a trust
model where you can pick your trusted source.
This way you could have many ligh
What I'm thinking more is if the costs of security are being too much
externalized from the light clients onto full nodes, nodes operators are
just going to stop servicing light clients `peercfilters=false`. The
backbone p2p network is going to be fine. But the massive LN light clients
