any new protocol stack will have weaknesses. this applies to both LN and nostr. We need more insight into attacks when they occur. It's currently too hard to tell if a failed payment was due to DoS or liquidity issues. We can't fix the problem if we have no insight into it. I think more measuring and monitoring is important for reliability and scaling. I'm not sure if anyone is working on this.

What's your gut feeling on the adversarial thinking being applied to LN? Seems like there's a lot of "theory" around ways to attack it, but no major attacks have been reported yet. Is it a matter of time? Or are the attack vectors overblown? Should builders and node runners be more advasarial or less?
