Re: [Lightning-dev] Lightning Address in a Bolt 12 world

Bastien, Maybe I'm misunderstanding option 1 or perhaps it's not clear. Are you saying with that option, all it takes is a single DNS entry for "serviceprovider.com" to service unlimited users? The interchanging between "bob" and "domain owner" is a bit confusing in your gist. I think it would

Bastien, For completeness, would you be willing to demonstrate what it might look like if it were bolt12 in the normal LNURL way? The concern is mostly what you brought up with relying on DNS entries instead of a typical web server. At scale, that would be much more difficult for LNURL service

Bastien, The main concern on the LSP not keeping a reserve is that it's much easier for them to steal since the offline concern is on the mobile user. We still do not yet have reliable watch tower integrations/products to help mitigate this. Yes, there's reputation, but how does a user go

Bastien, ACK for this. But don't wallets & LSPs already have the option to provide this UX and have been doing it for years? Are you proposing a network wide switch away from reserves or just between mobile wallets and LSPs if they opt in? And what about the dust reserve limit too? From my

[Lightning-dev] Preliminary Hidden Lightning Network Analysis

2022-06-07 Thread Tony Giorgio via Lightning-dev
Hi, For the past few months I have been working on an LDK probing project that searches for unannounced channels on the Lightning Network. For the past week, I have been probing on mainnet and squashing bugs / making optimizations. So far I have found near 445 unannounced channels totaling
