what you trying to say ??

Someone supposedly tried to cheat in the Lightning Network and was penalised and lost his bitcoin

But in reality it most likely was a user restoring a corrupted channel database that unintentionally broadcast the old channel state

Whatever the reason, it means the Lightning Network works as intended: if any user broadcasts a stale channel state, that user will forfeit their bitcoins in the channel.

Edit: Confirmed that it was a user that restored corrupted channel database

I think this is one of the reasons why the spamming of the legacy/SegWit Blockchain was put on hold. Most of those resources are now focussed and channelled towards sabotaging the Lightning Network. These people know the Lightning Network is the real game breaker for them and they have to sabotage it.

I am glad to see pro-active measures to implement strategies to protect LND nodes. We are being attacked from all sides and we are still winning. ^lol^

Lightning DOSers seem organized and motivated, developing specialized software to attack the Beta LND nodes. Node hardening is in progress! We're getting a good opportunity to develop robust p2p deployment strategies. @juscamarena just saw a live test of the penalty scenario.

This is a good demonstration of the Lightning Network's penalty system in a live setting. I hope to see more attempts penalized, to put all the big blocker misanthropes back in their place.

Chance you could post full log for education purposes? Thanks!
