We're not talking about the protocol..
This topic is regarding an ethical problem with 'Lightning Labs' (a company) control of the protocol
fixed that for you, you forgot to include what their [lack of] ethics is concerned with
..
seems someone still has their eyes closed again, and living the dream utopia
ill remind him what is at risk.. and it is not a companies social reputation. but exploitation of the protocol
I'm glad people are drawing attention to this. Code can be as much about ethos as it is about function. It does raise serious concerns if companies are trying to exploit the very environment that allows them to operate in the first place. Talk about biting the hand that feeds. I know participants in this community will fight tooth and nail to keep open-source as the only viable default. It's a fundamental tenet.
they're not fighting to report a company to some ethics board about some social drama(as much as doomad loves only social drama topics). they are fighting to stop the protocol from being exploited more than it has, more then some would like
but hey, he doesnt want people talking about the exploits.. so shh children go back to sleep. he doesnt want people talking about the risks to the protocol. so shh, dont say a word, he needs to sleep.
if people want to use a network that does allow people to have channels and balance and able to spend/receive that balance when that said balance is not even pegged/locked to any real btc confirmed transaction(using certain implementations, but becoming more universal). then stay asleep and dont worry.
else, for those that do want to be aware of exploits.
keep looking out for them. draw attention to them, dont let silly people try to tell you to not talk about protocol risks just so they can discuss social drama of personalities
I will soon make an 'Apollo BTC + C-Lightning' setup guide as well, hopefully adding many many more C-Lightning nodes to the network. Hopefully, when Futurebit will add Lightning natively, it will be built on C-Lightning. I will also make sure to open a few new channels, especially at these lower prices that we currently have.
