This patch for Neutrino (serving blocks data to remote LND nodes) it will improve dramatically the use of "mobile LN nodes" using this type of connection with Bitcoin nodes. Many users were complaining about losing sync due to high latency ping with neutrino peers, that were far away from their location (and always they tried to find the closest ones). But now with this patch the high ping is not bothering anymore.
Interesting enough, this PR had the number 300 😂

Many thanks to our fellow Kevin, LL developer that was working hard, together with Hampus and Nitesh on this PR !
Who will benefit directly from this improvement?
- Zeus users, using the embedded LND node, starting with the new announced v0.9.0 will include this patch.
- Blixt users, that also is a full LND node, starting with new announced v0.7.0, will include this patch.
- Breez users, maybe they will update it too, even that Breez is using a forked LND code.
- Nayuta users
- any other LND node runner, using Neutrino to connect his LND node. Yes you can run any LND node without having a full Bitcoin Core running to serve blocks to your LN node. And is just fine and private.
Nevertheless, I encourage any full node runner to activate on his node the block filters and deliver publicly blocks data for neutrino clients. It doesn't affect too much your node and is not leaking any private information. But in this way you participate more in the decentralization of the Bitcoin and LN network, helping remote users to get easily and faster blocks data with their mobile LN nodes.
Ugh, we can only see the post we can't see replies to the post, therefore, we can't read the thread!

Pavlenex here. This is not true, I don't use Nostr that much, as soon as I was notified I reached out to user. We have process for security reports as well as reaching out to us, he completely ignored those and even publicly notified people on Telegram about vulnerability before it was patched.
I've spent at least 4 hours on Friday at 21:00 night trying to help him and get him in touch with exchange. I understand the frustration, but usage of external plugins comes with a risk, let alone keeping your life-saving in a hot wallet and on top of that opening your instance for public registrations.
Just released nostrss 1.0.0 beta release yesterday !
There's still plenty of room for new features and improvements, but i must admit i'm quite proud to have been able to build such program with Rust. :D
Beautiful, heart-wrenching. Horrible.
Im so sorry for your loss @dergigi.
Your words mean so much to me. Thank you.
I lost my uncle to suicide when I was a teen.
And like most men, I feel, I have battled with those dark thoughts.
I grow a moustache every November for this reason. It’s silly but it’s a nod that we men don’t deal with these thoughts very well.
Makes sense. This is another good argument for why one should not buy the ETF over holding keys oneself.

I’m leaving medium for good. All my future writing content will be featured on SN!
Everything that happens to me is my own fault.
That gives me the power to become better, as I'm the only one I need to change to do so.
