Thanks for sharing your thoughts ZmnSCPxj. I think I can summarize your concern as: A node without direct internet connectivity can not rely on an opportunistically incentivized local network peer for blockchain information because the off-grid node's direct LN peers could collude to not forward

Hi Igor, Thanks for sharing about what it's technically possible to do for a full-node on phone, specially with regards to lower grade devices. I do see 2 limitations for sleeping nodes: - a lightning specific one, i.e you need to process block data real-time in case of incoming HTLC you need to

Thanks Antoine for starting this thread, I've also been curious about the current thinking on light clients and incentivized full node services after seeing the LSAT work. On Wed, May 6, 2020 at 11:40 AM Antoine Riard wrote: > > Yeah, I hadn't time to read the spec yet but that was clearly

Hi, (cross-posting as it's really both layers concerned) Ongoing advancement of BIP 157 implementation in Core maybe the opportunity to reflect on the future of light client protocols and use this knowledge to make better-informed decisions about what kind of infrastructure is needed to support
