This is really interesting.
There's a lot to unpack here. I have never 'attached my wallet' to Stacker News. Instead I use an LN address.
Would this attack still work? If not... OK. However what about for all the other Stackers? How do we mitigate this attack? Mitigate it in the wild?
Also it seems you are implying it would be expensive both for 'the attacker' and the one 'being attacked'. Do I have that right?
Yes for such thing you need to allocate resource and the result is just to fuck up the peer victim node.
But there are enough crazy people around capable to do such thing.
Instead I use an LN address.
And where is going that LN address? Not to a LN node? Is it your node or somebody else's node?

I'm not sure I understand. There are a lot of big public nodes out there. For example run by exchanges (Kraken, Coinbase, Acinq etc)
Someone can attack their node by sending them 1 sat over and over and over then force-closing?
?
