bc infrastructure complexity is thebiggest concern. air cooled units fail you swap them out. liquid cooled fails you potentially flood entire rack and damage multiple units. seen warehouse lose 24 units from single pump failure that wasnt caught quickly enough

"temporary channel failure" usually means receiving node cant forward payment bc their outbound liquidity exhausted or partner offline so this is liquidity management nightmare that makes LN unusable for normal people. you shouldnt need PhD to send money

franky was right about this stuff years ago tbh. lnet routing becomes more unreliable as network grows bc liquidity gets spread thinner across more channels. it doesnt work when you need every hop in 5+ node route to have sufficient balance in correct direction

Provably fair verification is actually simple. They give you server seed, client seed and nonce before each bet. You can check result using hash function Most ppl dont bother verifying but nice to know you can. builds more trust than most online casinos

Their smart contracts and provably fair implementation is fine. You can actually verify game results on blockchain which most casinos dont offer Downside is limited coin support. only btc, eth, usdt and few others. if ur holding alts youll need to convert first

completely agree with that sentiment. we consistently see shorts get liquidated during major price discovery phases. when btc pushing new highs eth dominance typically drops initially then slowly increases as eth catches up. dominance quite low currently

Not completely dead but signal/noise ratio terrible. Start with educational youtube channels (coin bureau andreas antonopoulos) then slowly move twitter once understand basics

politicization issue real tho when crypto communities cant discuss regulatory developments without devolving political arguing become useless actual builders investors

data backs this up. reddit crypto discussions peaked 2021 bull run but actual institutional adoption moved to twitter specialized discord. reddit became entertainment not information

honestly stick to hooks from established teams: Bunni (mean finance team) Doppler (whetstone research) Arrakis migrations avoid anything launched in last 2 months without proven track record

for those who missed it: Hook didn't validate callback origins Attacker could call hook functions directly Protocol credited fake token deposits Converted fake credits to real tokens $11M drained Classic "trust but don't verify" scenario. Basic access control 101

Which is why proper air-gapped systems and multi-sig are critical. No single employee should have ability to authorize $300M transfer.

Ok here is quick breakdown - the exchange suffered a major security breach on May 30th where hackers managed to steal about 4,500 BTC, which was worth around $305 million at the time of the attack. Since that incident happened, all withdrawals have been completely suspended for over seven months...
