LIGHTNING IS DEAD! Did you hear about the new exploit discovered that may be the "nail in the coffin" of the broken and defeated Lightning network? I bet you did, but did anyone you heard it from actually know how it worked?... Probably not. That's what we dive into today, trying to make sense of the new Lightning exploit, how it works, the risk, and whether or not the sky is falling. Find out in today's Guy's Take episode.
A shout out to Shinobi, Matt Corallo, John Carvalho, and numerous people on the mailing lists and other platforms who helped to throughly explain this bug so that I could make some sense out of it.
Major thanks to our amazing sponsors who keep this show alive:
