@supertestnet congrats on improving, solving even, a major issue and threat that LNURL-W does not solve. You have provided a solution that offers a robust expiration date of 2016 blocks and removed the threat of channel closures that can and do steal funds.
Going from funds being lost a millisecond after payment or some arbitrary channel closure time to funds being lost after 2016 blocks (~ two weeks) is a win for the LN community. We should celebrate this improvement (and test it obviously).
If the Hedgehog thesis holds up, I think it will accelerate LN usage and infrastructure build out. LN operators can sigh a collective relief that their channel liquidity will not get rugged immediately by channel closures, now they have 2 weeks notice.
This guy gets it
