 Payment Censorship in the Lightning Network Despite Encrypted Communication

The authors demonstrate how to detect LN messages by their deterministic sizes and packet flows. These methods allow a network-level adversary to identify and censor payments in the Lightning Network.

😱

 cashu.me updates

- show the USD price when paying a Lightning invoice from a BTC mint (price must be turned on in the settings)
- QR code scanner now also supports BIP21 unified addresses
 
THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK 🫑

 That's weird. Cashu.me uses npub.cash Did you enable the LN address in the settings? Can you check if the tokens are there on npub.cash ? If you use the auto generated address, copy your nsec in the settings and log in in npub.cash  
 Zapped from my cashu.me 
 Yes, enable NWC in the settings, connect to your nostr client, and keep the wallet open in the background :) 
 First, you should manually get the ecash from npub.cash (history). I'll run a few test to figure out the issue. Feel free to dm me on matrix @callebtc:matrix.org or nip17 here so we can figure it out.

 Yeah there doesn't seem an easy way to set up one. Pile o' shite if you ask me. 
 maybe the architecture but the app, onboarding, discovery is miles ahead 
 looks like everyone on bluesky is on the same server?

 gm, as the price goes nuts, those that can eliminate the noise and focus on building will be on top.

 Breakfast with Seneca by David Fideler is a great book about stoicism.

It's an easy read and ver... 
 Haven't read it yet, thanks for the recommendation  
 Bitcoin (low risk, high cost) +
Lightning (medium risk, medium cost) +
Ecash (high risk, low cost)

scales to infinity 
 Physics enjoyoor detected 
 Run a Lightning node and you'll see ;) 
 That's not what's compared here 
 First of all, I don't like your tone. Second, your argument doesn't even make sense, Ecash is labeled as high risk. Third, the risk of running a mint is completely separate from using a mint. 
 Ecash is "super efficient centralized", so yeah. 
 probably because it has best-in-class privacy and it's an open protocol with interoperability 
 Interesting thought but I believe more options are always better than not

 Yes, I started working on an BTC Ecash version of this (katzenpost mixnet without a shitcoin) but the project has stalled. 
 The state can't corrupt Bitcoin. But it can corrupt you.

 I use agent switching / spoofing.  
 Hey Polymarket, will they enforce OFAC compliance on all US Bitcoin miners by 2026? 
 PSA: Some of you use nostr without a VPN and that's very very very bad. You should use a VPN, at all times, on you're phone and on your computer, especially on nodtr. Treat it as a gift to yourself and get one now, I recommend Mullvad, don't get a random VPN that is likely to be infiltrated by the gov.

 So you take off the condom when you exit Amethyst? 
 Yes, there are a million reasons why you should use a VPN at all times. 
 Your nostr connects to a million different servers run by hopefully your friends and, most of the time, it's trivial to correlate your npub to your IP.

 GM Nostr 🌞

Remember, you don't have to have an opinion on everything.  
 Freedom often comes in the form of reserving one's opinion on most things you can't change. 
 Have you used any social media that's not owned by big tech before you used nostr? Can you feel the difference? 
 The golden days 
 That's very cool, congrats. It's one of the best tools ever built on Bitcoin. 
 The boring stuff is what gets the job done πŸ‘ 
 Unify bitcoin and state!

 Same and same. No need to oversell a technology that is powerful enough by itself. Freedom go up on all levels of the sovereign stack 🀝
