If #Bitcoin confuses you, it's important to remember that we're trying to change *accepted social norms*. That's weird, slow and confusing. In my Linux days we were dealing with "that's not how you construct software", Bitcoin is "that's not how you construct money". 1/7

Hey

! Our CI stopped working, apparently we're out of minutes somehow on our Legacy Bronze plan. Halp! How do we fix this, usage CSVs are empty and I can find no evidence that there *are* any limits on legacy plans? github.com/organizations/

Anyone have a historic list of closed #LightningNetwork public short-channel-ids to node pairs? People have asked for #CLN to remember old, closed channels, and it turns out we often do, but we forget peer id. We could restore those, where it was public, at least!

I find

's "ratecard" proposal more interesting FWIW: you advertise 4 different fee rates, and which applies depends on capacity. So if you're in a hurry, just pay top rate (if that fails, there really is no capacity). Otherwise you can retry on a higher rate.

In the end I'm not convinced this change is necessary, that it will make things easier for node operators, or that it will be popular. But there's no actual spec proposal in the repo that is can see?

Of course as

says, it would be more efficient to simply tell your peer to give a kickback, and have them charge more. But

@zerofeerouting

's node might (have) just refuse to do that, so this way does have some transparency benefits.

Today you set a base and percentage of amount on each *outgoing* channel. It's simple and compact. But IIUC

@zerofeerouting

upset

@alexbosworth

's profits by not charging a fee, and so he'd like to charge an *incoming* fee instead. No more zero fee routing!

Ideally, a node would tell you the rate for every in/out channel pair, as an arbitrary formula of amount, cltv delay or whatever. But that's 10,000 formulae if you have 100 channels, which is a lot. So we started simple;

Ok, let's talk about routing fees!

Remember that time Blythe Masters was going to transform Australian equity settlement with Blockchain and all the managing consultants were like: yeah it’s definitely the future! Oops.

afr.com

An Accenture report says the plan to replace the CHESS settlement system with a distributed ledger was too complex and plagued with uncertainties.

Again, FTX was just speed-running the Binance story, boosted by US VC. People keep conflating claimed size with trustworthiness. Also, contagion is real and unmappable until after disaster. Take self-custody (or cash out to an actual bank), if you're not an expert trader.

Release v22.11rc1 · ElementsProject/lightning

But if plebs have any strong feelings or questions about this, *now* is the time to get involved, while it's still an idea (not even a concrete proposal)! The #lightning community is growing so fast, I want to make sure there are no surprises...

Note the paper also has a scheme to protect against long-lived HTLCs (vs. short ones which prepay fees cover), which is actually much simpler, and peer-local, so simply requires deployment and v. little configuration.
