PSA for /r/bitcoin users. Stop posting those LN links that tell everybody your IP address. Retards.

Or at least shut the fuck up about "mah privacy" while at the same time posting your own IP address online. You are basically saying to the entire world:

"Hey everybody here is an IP address where you can find Bitcoins if you hack it, to make it even easier for you I have also locked some up in a channel. If you can't hack my computer you can still DDOS and blackmail cause if you keep a LN node offline for three days all their funds can be taken by their channel partners"

And to the government: "Look I am a money transmitter without a license to help the terrorists and pedophiles get around you blocking their bank accounts."

Like how fucking stupid are you guys and how fucking evil are your mods that they allows this hypocricy

They are also so lazy that they have people from /r/btc write them stickies instead of doing it themselves.

Seriously, one major LN exploit, the biggest hub that gets hacked and EVERY connected user could lose his funds. DDOSing a commericial internet connection so you can't go online to protect your channel anymore is not that hard.

It's a recipe for disaster once enough BTC is locked in to the biggest LN hubs and of course most people will connect to the best connected hubs because then LN is more functional for them. Don't say we did not warn you.
