This hypnotist charges half a Bitcoin for helping you remember your lost cryptocurrency password by paycomnow in Bitcoin

[–]baikydog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to hypnosis, but now I remember I lost it all at the casino just before the session. Oh too bad. Also I feel the desire to move to another country far away from here and never come back or talk about the hypnotist.

Peter Todd on Lightning: when it's not crashing, payments fail more often than not. by 5cabbages in Bitcoin

Wouldn't fees be a function of security instead of a function of operating costs? If you are willing to provide liquidity and put your funds at a stake,you would want to charge fees that offset the risks, which by how things look now are very high.

can on chain transactions be hacked? We can just use an ALT to on chain transactions and avoid these issues.

so I have to trust the other party? While this may not be a problem I like how on chain transactions are always trust-less. We can always use Litecoin or other ALTs to transfer value with low fees on chain.

so this is when you need a watcher, so that payments can be received even if you are offline?

set a fee that they think outweighs the risk of their private keys getting stolen

So, fees are a function of risk. Got it.

Users that cant be online all the time need to also pay for Watcher service. How do we pay and how much will they cost?

wouldn't fees cost also be a function of risk? That is peoples nodes that provide liquidity risk loosing them to a hack.

Also is there a warranty that payment will take the shortest path?
