Seems like ~crypto is entering the bull market, too. But I think it's mainly thanks to @kr's post about Making Ethereum Cypherpunk Again which generated a lot of zaps - not only on the post itself but also in the comment section. I will use these sats to Make More Things Cypherpunk Again.
Also yesterday, the code has decided that it's time to reward content and not zapping, unlike yesterday. Got almost exactly 1k more sats for posting than for zapping. I feel proud.
Preimages are revealed to node routers when an invoice is paid. If they see the same payment being routed again with the same prrimage, they can swipe the funds.
Ah, makes sense. Forgot that the preimages must be kept secret until the channels are closed - not until the payment is done.
However, tbh, I am still slightly confused. If they already have seen the invoice, they already know the preimage, so how does seeing the same invoice again lead to a loss of funds exactly? But I think I knew the answer to this in the past while reading Mastering The Lightning Network. So I think the answer is somewhere in this book. It's a great book to just look some stuff up quickly. I just didn't yet. (It's even free to read in digital form.)
Regarding the experiment, I again had to stay up late to zap to zero.
To cut it short, here are my last zaps again. I really don't mind to tell people what content I zap on SN. Maybe I should mind? But at least what you can see here is only stuff that shouldn't be too controversial, right? Right?
Zap to zero day 3
Total satsback so far:
7911 sats (4419 sats yesterday)does not include people zapping me over the day

There might be another bug in our statistics. And I am not talking about unseating
@Undisciplined from his third place - famous last words btw:
-- @Undisciplined, here
but that it showed that @Undisciplined made two posts yesterday but he didn't make any post, lol. Probably a time zone issue. Hopefully.
XP points gained so far:
+14 (+10 from yesterday)Unrelated to this experiment, but yesterday, @TonyGiorgio created a ticket and I was confused how paying the same invoice twice might lead to a loss of funds. Fortunately, he had patience with someone like me and quickly reminded me that preimages must be kept secret until the channels are closed iiuc:

As you can see, the last zap was again probably a "I am really tired"-zap.
Btw, keep in mind that these are my personal zaps. Read this as a disclaimer like this one from @niftynei's blog:
