today was the last straw. Woke up to find out that one of my main #lightning channel have been closed. I opened it a few months ago and it was a really good routing channel.
The date coincide with the Liquid Network hack. For evey hack and vunerability that was found, some channels were just closing.
After hours of roaming around and analysing the nodes, I can confirm that the LN is centralized with a dozen of big nodes. They often form some 1ppm cestpools that obviously highjakes all the transaction.
Their main bread and butter is to instead offer liquidity to plebs by chargeing an arm and a leg and closing them as they wish.
I think its time i continue building on #nostr but with #monrero.
Your ideology is fine. There haven't actually been a series of critical vulnerabilities in the majority of lightning nodes in recent days. No one has failed payment issues ever anymore, it's all solved. None of what I said about Ark is actually validly addressing anything wrong whatsoever with Lightning.
Everything is perfect.
That's the right idea! That's how the cult survives!
