Good morning Stan,
Money is safe when network is down only if you only pay out of your node. Once
you receive, it is possible for your counterparty to transmit an invalid old
state where it owns more money than you do. Then you need to monitor the
blockchain for invalid closings of channel st

Thank you - this is lots of information !)

If I would have only a single outgoing channel I would not have to
make it private ? Correct? There is no way to route t
Good morning Stan,
The protocol allows nodes to be behind Tor hidden services (.onion domain
names). Tor hidden services automatically have NAT punching and firewall
traversal, as long as the firewall allows Tor protocol to go through.
I do not know if there are already LN software that actual

Thank you
Presumably many nodes will be behind firewalls. Are there any
firewall traversal mechanisms included (or some type of an overlay
network)?)

There are no UIs to my knowledge. Current LN programs keep track of this in
their databases, although each one varies in detail. Presumably their

I see - thank you.
How to I discover nodes - is there any UI to see nodes currently
running on the network ?

In this case there is some kind of an UI where I can accept or
