This design retains the network effects of the Lightning Network, as more demand of asset transfers ➡ more routing activity ➡ more routing revenue ➡ increase demand for LN capacity ➡ mo LN. This solidifies LN as the world's instant value transaction layer ⚡️🌍.

for ppl confused about tx conf delays:. * txns can be dropped from the mempoool in high fee periods . * if it gets dropped, then one needs to manually increase the fee (RBF). * explorers don't show definitive info of initial broadcast time nor the OG fee used for broadcast.

what if I told you. that LLM platform APIs don't need to rate limit for paying customers . what if. you could simply pay them directly using HTTP 402 and a low cost decentralized open access payment network, all 100% programmatic . L402 is the 🔑:

just snagged the last ticket (at this tier) via LN!. the $400 payment (600k sats) was completed in 1.5 seconds w/ a 0.07% fee (7 bps, $0.29 actual), routed thru the network via 3 hops ⚡️. but noooo "LN is dead" 😱 /s. the only other payment system on *Earth* that would've been.

@KTrzeszczkowski @moxie EVM chains gave up on working light clients long ago, due to poorly designed p2p protocols, and the additional bandwidth strain of bloated chain headers + block time granularity of seconds. bitcoin's sane parametrization enables proper client validation:

Based on the information we've been provided with so far, it appears that this was an instance of the user's machine being compromised, leading to `lncli` commands directly executed on the root user (all channels abandoned). This does not appear to be an lnd specific issue.

🚨 If you are running LND older than 0.18.5 and/or Lightning Terminal older than 0.14.1, stop what you are doing and upgrade immediately. Thieves are draining funds using exploits that were fixed in these releases. 🚨.
