BEWARE OF THIS SCAMMER @justin_shocknet - Mute his SN account and block his X account IMMEDIATELY!
Justin posted on Twitter/X that Lightning does not require your phone to stay online. This is a lie: If you receive a Lightning payment, your node MUST stay synced with the Bitcoin network to protect against theft. If your phone goes offline, your channel peer can publish an old transaction state that drains your Lightning balance.
DO NOT LOSE YOUR SATS TO THIS SCAMMER!
Half a million sats wasted on this shit? There are starving children in Alabama
I wonder if SN is discovering naturally that rage bait sells and is what economically sustains messaging platforms
:(
the evidence is undeniable
It’s all from a boost though.
I guess it’s worth our while as spectators but what’s the incentive to post the rage bait in the first place and what exactly are we doing to encourage it?
i think the point is that message boards can exploit human psychological tendency to get into fights
so there's no financial incentive to post the rage bait... but there's a non-zero chance that any individual will get caught up in rage bait and start spending money to engage in online verbal warfare
This will be a fun thing to see play out
Even @grayruby is getting into fights
now you sound like Darth
Thanks
Worth it to prevent wallets from getting drained.
Bet you can't outspend the shitcoiner @dendehomie
Correct. He's got deep pockets, he easily outraced my 25k downzap:
you coulda spent those sats on better things. coulda take half of them and buy some nahs.
Indeed
No need to reply brokie.
SN coulda stand for SatNah but you guys keep trying to call it ShitcoiN.
Kruw are you serious? How does that statement make anyone a scammer?
Because it is not the first time I have heard it.
Please leave twitter dramas there.
Really? What other person has claimed that you don't need to keep your Lightning node online?
I'll wait patiently for your citation.
I literally shut down blixt all the time. So you're both wrong.
Blixt is unusuable at least in my experience
Depends on what you're using it for, I think?
I do like the lnpub->CLINK concept better for a day-to-day nickel & dime wallet, but not for larger private spending channels. Blixt works really well for the latter, for me.
I was trying to use it as a nickel/dime wallet
I'd not recommend all the hoops for that. Zeus does that better, but at the cost of stability. I may edit out all the hoops at one point and just shadow-maintain my own version of blixt that has the advanced features, but not the hacks that are there to please people with connected wallets.
Blixt is for advanced lightning users and has a lot of custom settings that need know-how for it to work. You can use it in
testnetand learn more about lightning tricks. Their community is really active and responsive for Q&A.Thanks for your response
I'm sure most or all of my settings were wrong
Sober up and try again.
another useful comment from @anon
In that case, I hope you use a watchtower that you trust.
Never claimed that you moron, you're just illiterate
seconded
lmao this is the twitteriest of twitter logic I've seen posted on SN yet
it's got the same energy of the bip 110 people... "I don't think transactions should be censored" becomes "you support csam on the blockchain"
I agree. I don't know what @kruw is going after here.
I was seconding @supratic in case that isn't clear.
Really? I think it's brutally simple. Answer these questions with "True" or "False":
I agree that lightning and ark both have liveness requirements. I don't agree that Justin's statement makes "caught trying to drain lightning wallets"
Argue on the merits of the topic, don't make up ridiculous claims about someone being a scammer.
I didn't even suggest mobile lightning was safe, I'm literally the only one not making a mobile node at this point
Justice transactions still make it safer than ark though 🤣
Your two sentences contradict each other: Can you give any other reason why Lightning has a liveness requirement other than to prevent your funds from being drained?...
So, Justin is mostly wrong about (1) but mostly right about (2). I don't think he's a scammer... just a little disillusioned in thinking that more than half-a-dozen people are going to use Bitcoin over some weirdass Nostr protocol... and he's spending a bit too much energy trying to manifest this into reality.
TL;Dr, everything is fucked
I looked through my muted list on here: at least they seem to be gone now. I mean, they don't have lightning afaik haha (should be easy to support)
Dude paid 500k sats for drama boost. We don't mind taking those spoils
I’m just going to leave this here, https://www.cdc.gov/mental-health/caring/index.html
Is this ragebait? Lmao
Apparently yes, this post baited over 62k sats in downzaps. That scammer @justin_shocknet is MAD that I published the proof.
Not a single one from me
Only scammer here is you
WTF? Stacker News is getting stranger every day
We need more posts about Mining
And here we are actively profiting off the various shitstorms
Well yeah. There is that
what a time to be a stacker
1m sats in rewards
Loving the downzap!
why are the rewards so high?
kruw, with this stupid post you just show us how dumb you are.
You discredit yourself.
What's Wasabi doing to stop these AI hacks like Coldcard and Liquid?
A very gay drama is unfolding. The brokeback mountain of Bitcoin.
It's just X things.
Bitcoin can't fix that.
😆😆😆 this is wild
Can you prove it? Clickbite title? it worked...
Why are you supporting so much
_divide_&_conquer_tactics instead of finding common ground to$beStrongerTogether?I told you he was working with @DarthCoin.
They are both not what they claim to be.
It is sad how easily they have consistently fooled most stackers.
had this happen to me back in the day, node went down, didn't have a channel back up, lost those funds, you live and you learn
chaos thread, lol
WTF

The fact that LN is the only one true L2, the rest is shitcoinery. This X.com claim is just to confuse the newbies. Thanks again @justin_shocknet and everyone is for your great work.
