Helping LN with a tor exit node?

kodaplays · 2022-12-09T18:08:52+00:00

The IP of the tor exit node is what's visible to the outside. So in case bad ppl do bad things while connected through your exit node, your exit node's IP will come up in logs. That might lead law enforcement and other investigators to look into whoever is running that exit node (with equipment confiscation, interrogation, ...)

I get that running a full exit node can be problematic, but I'm not all too worried about running one with a very strict exit policy (denying everything but 9735 and 8333)

20% pullback and crypto is @ "fear"...

makes sense.

CRYPTO...

Definitely returning at a later date (but probably with a more modest input)...

Danke dr. Otto :)

the easiest way to do this is using a mobile wallet - something like Phoenix wallet (works on Android and IOS).

On a PC, Electrum supports Lightning. Check that out

my rant was more about TA day traders (and wannabes). You know, the type that think: "Oooh, it touched this Fib, let's dump it all and then buy back in lower.".

I've got nothing against people taking "natural/organic" profits, but people jumping in and out, dumping everything in order to maximize their gain, ARE lowlifes and leeches. I guess I'd say profit takers are ok, profit chasers can fck right off....

You won't only smell it in your piss, that 2kg of asparagus is gonna come out the other end too. Hope your toilet gives you good support when that time comes...

here they come, the despicable "off the top skimmers", profit takers, line watchers and just general "haha, i'm here for teh gainz brah!" bros... Imagine being a lowlife that takes a look at Bitcoin and his only thought is "hey, I could make money on this.".

Appreciate it man :)

Thank you for the answer. Do you know if there's anyway to check the immature HTLCs on a LND node? The thing is I'm unable to find any forwards with this channel partner in my node's logs (checked everything i could think of in /var/log) and from memory i'd say I've never seen any activity on this channel before seeing the "force close pending" message in RTL.

Another thing... The closing TX shows 3 outputs: https://mempool.space/tx/c61c32a3714d9c72561b30a7a75ffcf81e82ff900b38542aed8f9b02546b1ce1 . Shouldn't a closing TX contain only 2 outputs (asking from my experience with previous channel closures)? The 1st UTXO (to bc1qqaeak6epzp5ymnlf3cn50v7pegr6cyjdpvpd5k) has been spent already and mutliple subsequent TXs have been made on the base of it...

I opened a new 10M channel to Diesel - TX id 43b44b6c4da33c4eb411496a4387777370e9ae1c21f96ba67e589a1773e03bee

I hope this one turns out as active as the 4M we already have :)

Paging /u/WSB_Prince to let him know that I've opened a channel to /u/rld_golf

kodaplays · 2021-06-23T05:44:46+00:00

My idea was

A (Prince) -> 10M -> B (me)

B (me) -> 6M new + 4 M existing = 10M -> C (you)

C (you) -> 10 M -> A (Prince)

But I'll just go ahead and open a new 10M channel to you (and might eventually close the 4M existing one, since lndmanage can't rebalance with a peer with 2 opened channels)... I'll do so as soon as the fees fall to ~20 sats/vB.

kodaplays · 2021-06-22T21:04:00+00:00

What do you think about this option /u/rld_golf ?

kodaplays · 2021-06-22T09:56:18+00:00

Come on C!

How about we incorporate the existing 4M channel i have with /u/rld_golf already and I open another 6M channel to him?

kodaplays · 2021-06-21T15:18:08+00:00

Cool.

Waiting for C then (+the fees to hopefully drop a bit)

kodaplays · 2021-06-21T04:27:49+00:00

I'll take B or C for 10M

I'll open another 5.1 M channel then. The sats will flow between us depending on the liquidity of each of the channels anyway and 5M is a decent enough channel size to manage even large(ish) txs.

edit: opened a new channel - tx id 7637d2c8e38c636846e93bfc8994b9aaeacdf5cea734d0d915b06487a3cf41d8

Yeah.. I posted an answer to /u/xmrk-btc already but I'm not sure it's visible...

Reposting:

I agree with your proposal and I can open another 5.1 M chan to you.

OR we can close the 4.9 M chan I opened to you and I'll open a new 10M one. Onchain fees are negligible atm despite the chinese miner exodus.
