Losing funds on lightning network can be "advantage"? https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/91211/how-can-so...


The possibility of losing funds exists, but bugs are something you would expect with any in-development technology. And, existing payment services are not without risk. Getting your account frozen and funds taken is pretty common with PayPal, Square, and other payment providers, which is not possible with the Lightning Network.

Bugs exist, sure... but bugs that have the potential to cause direct revenue loss, and that cause the core purpose of the product to fail? That isn't a bug, that is a deal-killer.


When will we move to some kind of decentralized domains from this "always pay for rent" model?



From linked page:

> Several systems which exhibit all three properties of Zooko's triangle have now been created, including:

> Computer scientist Nick Szabo's paper "Secure Property Titles with Owner Authority" illustrated that all three properties can be achieved up to the limits of Byzantine fault tolerance.

> Activist Aaron Swartz described a naming system based on Bitcoin employing Bitcoin's distributed blockchain as a proof-of-work to establish consensus of domain name ownership. These systems remain vulnerable to Sybil attack, but are secure under Byzantine assumptions.

> Several platforms implement refutations of Zooko's conjecture, including: Twister (which use Swartz' system with a bitcoin-like system), Blockstack (separate blockchain), Namecoin (separate blockchain), LBRY (separate blockchain and peer-to-peer file-sharing), Monero OpenAlias and Ethereum Name Service.


Any chance to see it open source for linux? Maybe some developers will join and make it really amazing. You still can earn some money with Windows version.


Hi Murple,

The Windows and Linux versions are the same code base. I originally had it as open source but decided not to keep it open.
