Vulnerability
Discovered[Claimed] In The Lightning Network
Could be a hoax for all we know. The poster / group is giving two weeks for users to upgrade before anything is disclosed. It might be a big nothing burger.
A bunch of FUDers declaring the death of the Lighting Network when:
There's already an available patched version.
There are no reports of the vulnerability being exploited.
The Lighting Network is still experimental, so finding bugs and vulnerabilities is expected and the actual point of having beta releases.
You look like all the people declaring the death of Bitcoin over the last decade.
So basically they found a bug in a piece of software and they have already released an update for it.
Ok. Seems it's the end of Bitcoin /s
I mean, are we seriously declaring the death of LN because of a bug? Every piece of software ever written deals with bugs, especially when you're building something brand new. You fix them and move on.
Lightning has been beat already. All that money down the drain. Wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum already has more BTC locked than lightning will ever do. And that just WBTC and there are several other protocols like True BTC , RenBTC etc
While maximalists were peddling lies and narratives again ETH, devs were busy at work developing products which can successfully wrap and port BTC to the ethereum layer. With more promising l2 layers coming to fruiting on ethereum, including stuff like optimistic ethereum which can transact freely and instantly, it’s going to take bulk of the layer 2 demand from lightning network.
BTC maximalism peddlers must be ashamed of themselves.
meh - if its a bug in software, it can be fixed. If its a systemic issue with LN - that is a different story.
Just to be clear (we don't want to spread misinformation do we?) it is a vulnerability in the LND node software.
Not the lightning network itself.
Not surprisingly there's no mention of this in r/bitcoin
Lightning Network is a joke and complete waste of time.
Good thing it's a ghost town.
