You guys running #Bitcoin Lightning nodes, like myself, know that you are running a hot wallet and the seed phrase is in plaintext in a file? Right? Is that server well protected, up to date and monitored?
This is not a fix all, but at least the private key is safe: There is a new gadget around that I have to test, it's a HSM for LN node. It keeps the seed phrase external.
