What is the motivation for multipath keysend? Why not just make
several independent keysend payments with different payment hashes?
We should make sure that there is a user need before adding complexity
to keysend, especially since we're already working on BOLT 12 which
supports multipath and even
ry? This

By giving a high confidence to HTLCs you increase the chance that they are
relayed which should be your goal. Having a high reputation is not a goal
in itself, it's just a way to make your HTLCs more likely to be relayed. If
you always report confidence 0, then yes you will have a reputation of 1

Hello,
I think the local reputation is more important than upfront fees and should
be worked on first because 1) the most likely attack against the network
today is the slow jamming attack against which upfront fees are not very
effective (an attacker would only consider fast jamming if the networ
Hi,
I agree that the local reputation solution is very promising (I'm less
convinced about the unconditional fee as it changes a core principle of the
network which means that we'll never reach consensus on it). What I really
like about it is that it's quite simple and can be quickly deployed with
Hi Joost,
This is a very interesting proposal that elegantly solves the problem, with
however a very significant size increase. I can see two ways to keep the
size small:
- Each node just adds its hmac in a naive way, without deleting any part of
the message to relay. You seem to have disqualified
Hi Joost,
It was discussed in this issue:
https://github.com/lightning/bolts/issues/835
On the network, the traffic is not balanced. Some nodes tend to receive
more than they send, merchants for instance. For the lightning network to
be reliable, we need to incentivise people to open channels to
