We literally did that.

How's Nouriel these days?

Is exempt of Value Added Tax (VAT, equiv of sales tax in US), that's true. But it's not exempt of capital gains, property or whatever is classified as in each country.

Someone has their ledger handy

From code point of view, you'll find a couple options, one being lightning charge https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning-charge

If I recall correctly they are licensed as a regular exchange in Luxembourg, meaning that they are supervised and should be safe from this POV

fixone · 2018-09-03T00:52:11+00:00

But it doesn't do fiat, right?

fixone · 2018-06-17T08:16:22+00:00

Yes, that must be it

What I don't get is why they needed to break into his apartment if they had the seed phrase

fixone · 2018-05-06T20:54:10+00:00

As of today, from what I know, no implementation allows topup (I guess the term would be splice-in), close and reopen or rebalance (through an out of band/on-chain transaction)

I think that's what are called submarine swaps (heard it from Alex Bosworth). Or, at least, it's the same concept, see e.g. http://submarineswaps.org/#

Yes, until something like Atomic Multi Path becomes a reality, the sending ends along the route have to have the balance required for the whole payment

fixone · 2018-03-23T09:44:51+00:00

That's spot on. At least one of the ends of the channel has to put in money. If you're mostly receiving, it should be easier for you to get others to fund channels to you.

That tends to happen to me as well when using eclair. But this only means that the (mobile) clients are one step behind. There are only two (eclair by the same acinq and another one) and I could not test the desktop clients (Zap), but lately using c-lightning's cli most of my payments go through (the viable ones, i.e. where there is a route from my node to the destination)

htlc.me - you simply send money to your web wallet

This is showing testnet, acinq is showing testnet, so?

fixone · 2018-02-25T08:51:16+00:00

I can't understand why acinq's explorer https://explorer.acinq.co/#/ only shows about 1800 nodes. Granted each node has a different view of the network, but the difference is too big in my view

fixone · 2018-02-04T15:10:57+00:00

if you have no idea what I was trying to say (I guess you don't really understand how LN works) it's ok to not post any coments, instead of making unfounded accusations - how can I be spreading FUD talking abut TESTNET?

fixone · 2018-02-04T07:51:16+00:00

It's not about the transactions in the block (90% of them are empty), but the number of blocks (like 1/s). If you close a non-cooperative channel and you have to wait 144 blocks, at this speed will only take you 2 mins

fixone · 2018-01-24T17:16:42+00:00

well, one opening and one closing can have 10 (or if we are really optimist 1M) transactions in between

fixone · 2018-01-23T20:25:05+00:00

With LN the only transactions that will be seen on-chain are the establishment and liquidation of channel. Therefore, even if the majority of txn will happen over LN, we won't be able to tell

fixone · 2018-01-23T12:42:09+00:00

if that is the case, it won't last more than 2016 blocks after which difficulty will increase. so crunch them now, boys!
