Trolls doesn't believe that development of privacy features are possible in Lightning. Plus I encourage bad-actors/spying-agencies to "track" Lightning transactions. They would have to stake Bitcoin and help with liquidity.
Possible use-case for Lightning. Viable as a trust-minimized alternative to mixing/tumbling if privacy features are developed.
Your thoughts?
Viable if you never get back on chain (or spend everything on the Lightning Network) Your thoughts?
But privacy features *are needed* a step before accessing the LN anyway, and it is not an alternative in any way.Never? What/how would someone track my transactions to myself in Lightning, with privacy features enabled?

The Wikipedia page for the Lightning Network is being considered for deletion. Why censor technical information, and how can it be saved?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network
in which case, wikipedia is "not notable"
my suggestions
1. Make your screenshot as small or smaller than the way I have
2. Make the screenshot within your actual mind of wikipedia's importance commensurately smaller still
3. Stop talking about wikipedia as if it's a thing
the alternative is to allow a platform that is being redacted and censored along political lines to determine what "is" is. Take that power away from them, and they have the no such power to do any such thing

Seems that the involved editors are merely suggesting to combine Lightning Network under bitcoin rather than to delete the information? Might be a temporary measure, no?

hello everyone... is it possible to use all the funds in the locked channel??
Hi philboosty,You can use all the funds you locked, minus the reserve (used to maintain the incentive of both parties to not try to cheat).
hello everyone... is it possible to use all the funds in the locked channel??
Hi guys,
I have recently decided I had to get a Lightning wallet and wanted to hear from you guys
What are the best wallets compatible with lightning?
Can I use the lightning network for long term storage?
Thanks

I might get some criticisms, but just use BlueWallet. It's the easiest UX to get started in Lightning for newbies.

This tool might be useful for some of you LN "extremists".

The developers also need a front-end designer/developer, a volunteer.

I agree. But for long-term storage it's a terrible idea to use a custodial wallet (similar to using exchanges for long-term storage). Hi guys,

It depends.Quote

This question is what made me ask "Why" you want a LN wallet. I use my LN-wallet for small, frequent payments, which is what LN can do much cheaper than on-chain Bitcoin.However, when you're talking about long-term storage, there's absolutely no reason to do that in an open LN-channel!

Is there any way to download clightning binaries which were compiled with `--enable-developer`? Maybe they are shared as a regular version.
No, but building C-lightning is really straightforward.Hi. What i want to ask is, if possible can i run a lightning node on my pc 24/7 or i should buy a server or vps for this? Maybe server is safer. And how much bitcoin i need to start a lightning node/channel?
Hi,As you want.
Running one on your host is completely feasible and I think that's what most of people do (according to some stats made by Christian Decker and presented at TheLightningConference).
A server is not "safer", but will make you a better routing node as you will have a far better uptime.
There is minimum required, but in practice some node force a minimum to open a channel with them. You could try out the Lightning Network just by opening a few channels of few millis worth.

however if you want 0 gossip you can still compile with `--enable-developer` and use the `dev-suppress-gossip` command.
Thanks a lot! You made everything clear. Is there any way to download clightning binaries which were compiled with `--enable-developer`? Maybe they are shared as a regular version.
Hi,
Hi! I have a couple of question about c-lightning
The first question:
As far as I understood, c-lightning wants to run bitcoin-cli executable in order to communicate with bitcoind service. In my case, I would like to run c-lightning in its independent docker container and it would be nice if c-lightning works only with its own files and libraries. Is there any way to use c-lightning without providing bitcoin-cli?
There are docker provided, but with `bitcoin[d/cli]` integrated.The first question:

LND, for example, is able to communicate with bitcoind through a tcpip port without using any bitcoind files. Can c-lightning do the same somehow?
Not for now, but that might change in the near future.The second question
I want to use c-lightning nodes only for receiving funds, in my case a c-lightning node is not going to send any bitcoin, only receive it. I know that lightningd service gathers and processes the graph information from the network. This process consumes lots of memory and CPU resources, but I don't think it’s necessary in my case, because this information is required only for sending bitcoin not receiving it. May I switch the lightningd to the mode, when it will just maintain the only channel it has and provide invoices/wait for incoming transaction without downloading and processing extra network information?
This cost has been drastically reduced in the last release, however if you want 0 gossip you can still compile with `--enable-developer` and use the `dev-suppress-gossip` command.
