Lightning Network Flaws 5 years ago
The biases and cultish mentality of hardliners in the Bitcoin community make it difficult to have an honest discussion about these issues. There are interesting and nuanced security flaws listed here around both DoS and more recent routing fee exploits. My takeaway here is that there is a general lack of understanding and sufficient security testing around LN implementations. I wouldn't run my country on it but I wouldn't throw it all in the trash and abandon the concept like the author of the Github link is suggesting.
