Support Inbound Fees by TheBlueMatt · Pull Request #1942 · lightningdevkit/rust-lightning

Turns out building backwards-compatible inbound fees is only a few hours of work, including writing up a bLIP, so I did it.

github.com

This supports inbound fees with a relatively trivial and straightforward set of code changes, modulo the very last commit. Needs some tests, so probably my fee calculation are wrong, but everything...

Lnd’s “backwards compatible” inbound fees…not so backwards incompatible if it breaks routing algorithms folks want to use.

Replying to @ajtowns and @roasbeef

Worse, it’s actually kinda nontrivial to implement, negative fees means we can’t do dijkstras anymore. So now they’re pushing a bunch of complexity on to everyone else. Not to mention breaking @renepickhardt ‘s work.

Inbound routing fees by joostjager · Pull Request #18 · lightning/blips

Don’t believe me? Here ya go

github.com

The Lightning BOLTs define a routing fee that is based on the policy of the outgoing channel. This makes it impossible for routing node operators to differentiate in fees between incoming channels....

This is such nonsense. Every argument in this thread is gibberish. The *only* argument

@joostjgr

gave for the approach being taken is that “it’d be too hard to get review on the simpler approach in lnd”. That should never be how protocol design is done.

it's really disappointing to see matt so disingenuously represent both the past several years of discussion re inbound fees + @joostjgr's hard work over the last year the flavor of inbound fees tentatively scheduled for 0.17 (~3-4 months away) is both opt-in and backwards compat twitter.com/TheBlueMatt/st…

lnd yet again ignores feedback to needlessly hobble features they're shipping. Because twitter hid my previous tweet, here's the full contents from a better platform (mastodon), also cross-posted to nostr. Follow me on one of those. github.com/lightningnetwo

Yet again lnd ignoring feedback and going their own way on the spec…there’s great opt-in ways to do inbound fees that don’t require the whole network to update, and then there’s the direction they’re going in…. And trying to drag everyone else with them. twitter.com/alexbosworth/s…

lol, and Twitter now gives me pop ups telling me my tweet “won’t get seen by many people” because I don’t use Twitter often enough. What a trash platform it’s become.

Quote Tweet

A reason we see super hubs used as the default/mandatory peer of LN clients is because normal routing nodes don't want to peer with non-routing nodes as much: this capital is not as liquid/useful. Inbound routing fees slated for LND 0.17 can move to price that utility of inbound.

Is it just me or did

disable lightning support? If I select a wallet that is lightning only (why do I need to select a wallet? What kind of awful UX is this?) it still gives me an on-chain address. Its depressing how much better literally every other payment gateway is..

To clarify, or that *anyone* purchased (or otherwise acquired) Hal's keys. Not strictly Martin.

Also, its impossible for *Hal* to have created this message - Bitcoin signmessages did not exist at the time. Whether sold or not, the message was clearly signed by someone after Hal's passing (or at a point where he could no longer directly use a computer).

Errr, Martin, not Marin

To editorialize a bit, FWIW, it is still more likely that Marin purchased Hal's old private keys from his family (who suffered with medical-debt from Hal's disease) than that someone in prison is giving access to their keys...to Martin Shkreli.

You’re worried about contagion?! CBDCs are coming. Governments are hell-bent on eradicating all forms of cash. As a result, unprecedented levels of surveillance and control are at our doorstep. The only way to fight this is with choice. Crypto is that choice. Eyes on the ball.

No idea when I wrote these, but they were sitting in my drafts folder, so I figured it was worth publishing. Also found a four-year-old blog post that I never published, so here's that, too: bluematt.bitcoin.ninja/2018/09/12/ten

2. The best Code Review is not the one that caught the subtle edge-case (but that's important!) or the style nits, it's the one that asked a question that led the author to discover their approach was completely wrong. Code review is collaborative, not (just) adversarial.

1a. Corollary - you should spend more than half of your time reviewing others' work, and prioritize that based on what *others* say their priorities are, not your own. Help them make progress on their goals, don't force your goals on others.

Common Open-Source Contribution Mistakes 1. Never assume others view project priorities the same as you - don't let your ego be bruised just because you have to nag someone to review/help with your priorities. They have their own view of priorities, that's healthy not a problem

What's sad here is that, with al the noise made about cryptocurrency firms "getting serious" about lobbying and taking legal issues seriously, only a few Bitcoin-focused companies cared about helping defend this, despite it impacting all cryptocurrency devs (and even OSS devs)!

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

Ideally not bitcoin-only podcasts - I go on those occasionally already - what’s a place to go outside of the usual bubble?

Thinking its time to do some more podcasts in the new year. Where should I go on (with decent reach) for big picture chats about Bitcoin?

Wow. This is somehow even worse than you'd expect. Instead of setting up a centralised authority, it's "if miners decide to confiscate anyone's funds, they can". Requires a 50% attack for 6-blocks, but that's cheap on bsv. Get out now.
