yes i know doomad will only se the utopia. but with a critical mind it just shows people can change/tweak their node to do hand shaking in a different order or request data that normally not requested in that order.
if funds are locked. the partner either has to obey to the request or close the channel.
EG if you know the 2016 concept is that X hands over their private key first. and is expecting an automated reply from Y with Y's private key.
why can edit thir node to stop at th X hand key.. so that why gets it. but then does not hand Y key
its like any contract negotiation. whomever signs first is usualy the one worse off. because the second party can then renegotiate the terms before agreeing to sign
it why most contracts are not treated as valid until both parties sign. and its been notorised by witnesses
Precisely which "terms" are you able to "renegotiate" in Lightning with this supposed attack, then? Please elaborate and be specific, because I'm sure we'd all love to hear some more totally made-up nonsense. Don't just say "
the second party can then renegotiate the terms" without explicitly describing what you mean, because otherwise you are clearly spouting FUD and not describing an actual attack that can be successfully performed in Lightning.
Even though I'm going to totally dismantle everything else you just said, I want an answer to this above all else.
i understand doomad is an optomist and he likes to see the bright side of life. but promoting other networks that are not built yet to a reasonable level,
I understand you don't seem capable of comprehending the fact that no one is suggesting that Lightning is ready for mass adoption right now. What we are "promoting" are the
future benefits. We all recognise it's not finished yet and there is still much work to do.
and yet not care about how it is shifting utility and innovation away from the bitcoin network, and surprisingly being preferential that people should want to use LN instead of scaling bitcoin..
In your bizarre-o-world where Bitcoin somehow isn't allowed to have Lightning
fascist, the thing that would
actually shift innovation and utility away from the Bitcoin network is every other coin being interoperable and compatible with each other when they all implement LN and atomic swaps, while leaving Bitcoin totally isolated.
Great idea! is not what a true bitcoiner should be like.
You are in no position to judge what a "
true bitcoiner should be like" because you openly advocate preventing people from developing the off-chain technologies they want to develop. You only like developers that are making things you want them to make. Which, as far as I can see, is precisely ZERO of them because your ideas aren't as good as you like to think they are.
even going to the extent that if someone doesnt like bitcoins onchain stagnation that the critics should just go make their own network..
There is no "
onchain stagnation" in Bitcoin. That's just a lie you like to perpetuate.
is th mindset of those that think apartheid history was a good thing.
Says the person who doesn't want Bitcoin to be interoperable with other networks. Almost as though you wanted to segregate them... Keep those
different networks apart.
You're free to leave if you don't like it here. You're also free to stay and continue to be ridiculed for spouting nonsense. That's not apartheid. If you think it is, that's yet another concept you don't understand.
LN can function without bitcoin because its not reliant of bitcoin. the chainhash can be for litecoin or other coins.
EG LN is an island but it can continue even without bitcoin inhabitants.
right now its mainly bitcoin inhabitants walking around it so its giving the island some bitcoin fame. but that does not make it a bitcoin island. its a multi-nation island
Sounds great, I'm okay with that. Freedom and choice for everyone is a good thing.
Why do you hate multi-nation islands? Does it have something to do with your fascist tendencies?
as for the "custodian" thing. .. im laughing
coinbase, offers its "vaults"
That has no correlation whatsoever with what we're talking about here. If you think it does, start again because you don't understand Lightning. "Vaults" work
like this. That is categorically not how Lightning works. Thank you for once again proving beyond doubt that you are not in a position to comment on anything even remotely related to LN.
you said it yourself
"Users are free to negotiate between themselves how they are going to settle transactions between themselves as long as their software is compatible."
me: i wont shake your hand unless..
you: my node cant do that.
me: "well change your node or close the channel using your old state. by the way i have the private key to that old state, so its less risky to comply to my code edit by editing your node to follow my new policy. than it is for you to close channel"
Definitely keeping this quote handy as further evidence that you are 100% misinformed. If you ever manage to figure out why what you just said is totally wrong, let me know.
