Watchtowers

2019-08-22T04:00:25Z

Jogco: /* LND */ not needed anymore

Watchtowers make mobile wallets more powerful (or wallets that are not online 24x7). They keep track of channels for the client.

There is a nice podcast with Conner Fromknecht about it: https://stephanlivera.com/episode/83

= Workings =
At a high level, the lookout service receives input via two sources: block events and it's database. Incoming state updates are continually written to the database, and are made available to the lookout as soon as the tower successfully persists the encrypted blob. As new blocks come in, the tower searches for any breach hints matching the txid prefixes contained in the newly found block. If any matches are generated from the query, the lookout service will dispatch an attempt to decrypt and sweep the transaction on behalf of the user.

== Lookout part==
Handles the responsibility of monitoring the chain for possible breaches and responding by decrypting and broadcasting any justice transactions that its clients had previously uploaded.

== Watchtower / server , standalone ==
Receives and stores encrypted blobs from clients, this represents that second primary service enabling the tower to act on behalf of the tower's clients.

= Fees =
Watchtowers have a "sweep fee". The way watchtowers work is that you give them an encrypted Bitcoin justice transaction getting your funds back in the case of a breach. When they see that evil thieving transaction on the chain, that transaction reveals the decryption key and they decrypt and broadcast the transaction.

= LND =
[[LND]] had watchtowers since 0.7.

= Status =
{{INFO:LND 0.7-beta has (altruistic) watchtowers}}

Further, the configuration options are only available in experimental builds as there are few moving parts of the protocol that should be solidified before attempting to operate a tower.)

= About =
The Lightning Network Daemon (lnd) - is a complete implementation of a Lightning Network node. lnd has several pluggable back-end chain services including btcd (a full-node), bitcoind, and neutrino (a new experimental light client). The project's codebase uses the btcsuite set of Bitcoin libraries, and also exports a large set of isolated re-usable Lightning Network related libraries within it.

lnd fully conforms to the Lightning Network specification ([[BOLTs]]). BOLT stands for: Basis of Lightning Technology. The specifications are currently being drafted by several groups of implementers based around the world including the developers of lnd. The set of specification documents as well as our implementation of the specification are still a work-in-progress.

Wallets

2019-02-28T12:39:38Z

Jogco: cat

= Functionality of wallets =
{{TODO|Please add more details to wallet functionality.}}
Wallets are considered [[Layer-3]] applications. Wallets use the Lightning Network (a [[Layer-2]] protocol) which is a [[payment]] protocol to provide wallet functionality.

[[Non-custodial]] wallets create, manage and use private [[Layer-1]] [[keys]] that hold funds. Such [[private keys]] are for example [[Bitcoin]] or [[Litecoin]] keys, corresponding to the [[Layer-1]] blockchain.

[[Custodial]] wallets are usually [[thin]] mobile apps that connect to web sites operating [[custodial]] [[wallets]].

Lightning wallets connect to [[Lightning nodes]] as well as to [[Layer-1]] blockchain nodes, such as [[Bitcoin]] nodes.

= Features =
Wallet features might include:
* creating and closing a [[Channel|Lightning payment channel]]
* sending and receiving of [[Payment|Lightning payments]]
* refilling funds, funds pop-up
* [[Punishing Transaction|punishing fraudulent payment publication]]
* integration with or connectivity to [[Watchtowers]]
* connectivity to Lightning [[exchanges]]
* [[Atomic swap|atomic swaps]]

= [[Dangers]] and [[Risks]] =
Be aware of and understand the difference between [[full]] and [[thin]] wallets. The differences between [[custodial]] and [[non-custodial]] wallets. The differences between [[open source]] and [[closed source]] wallets. Wallets can steal <strong>all</strong> all your funds. Do not use a wallet you do not trust. Always research a wallet (e.g. on the internet) before you install and use a wallet. Only use a wallet you trust.

Wallets can have access to, hold, and manage the [[private keys]] of your funds. Wallets can misuse these keys to fraudulently steal funds from you if you are not careful. See [[fraud]] to learn about how to [[avoid fraud]].

= Best practices =
* Build knowledge: Learn about Lightning.
* Build trust: Research a wallet to build trust before downloading it, installing it or using it.
* Start with small funds: Start with small funds to improve your knowledge and the trust in your wallet.
* Backup: Frequently [[backup]] your wallet. This is specific to your wallet, so check with your Lightning wallet provider.
* Use a [[Watchtower]]: Use a [[Watchtower]] to be vigilant on your behalf about your Lightning [[Payments|payment transactions]]
* Open the wallet regularly: This is specific to your wallet, so check with your Lightning wallet provider. Good wallets are vigilant and supervise your [[Payment|payment transactions]] and thereby can detect and also correct [[Fraud|fraudulent payment transactions]]. You might have to open your wallet for this to happen.

= List of Lightning wallets =
Disclaimer: [[Main_Page|lightningwiki.net]] does not recommend any wallet(s) and is not responsible for the action(s) of any wallets. The use of any wallet is 100% at your risk. It is fully your responsibility. See [[dangers]] and [[risks]].

The differences between [[open source]] and [[closed source]] wallets. Wallets can steal <strong>all</strong> all your funds. Do not use a wallet you do not trust. Always research a wallet (e.g. on the internet) before you install and use a wallet. Only use a wallet you trust.

Wallets can have access to, hold, and manage the [[private keys]] of your funds. Wallets can misuse these keys to fraudulently steal funds from you if you are not careful. See [[fraud]] to learn about how to [[avoid fraud]].

= Best practices =
* Build knowledge: Learn about Lightning.
* Build trust: Research a wallet to build trust before downloading it, installing it or using it.
* Start with small funds: Start with small funds to improve your knowledge and the trust in your wallet.
* Backup: Frequently [[backup]] your wallet. This is specific to your wallet, so check with your Lightning wallet provider.
* Use a [[Watchtower]]: Use a [[Watchtower]] to be vigilant on your behalf about your Lightning [[Payments|payment transactions]]
* Open the wallet regularly: This is specific to your wallet, so check with your Lightning wallet provider. Good wallets are vigilant and supervise your [[Payment|payment transactions]] and thereby can detect and also correct [[Fraud|fraudulent payment transactions]]. You might have to open your wallet for this to happen.

ChannelReserve

2019-02-23T08:37:45Z

Jogco: formatting

ChannelReserve is the amount of BTC that the receiving party MUST maintain a balance above at all times. This is a safety mechanism to ensure that both sides always have skin in the game during the channel's lifetime.

The channel reserve is specified by the peer's ''channel_reserve_[[satoshi|satoshis]]'': 1% of the [[channel]] total is suggested. Each side of a channel maintains this reserve so it always has something to lose if it were to try to broadcast an old, revoked commitment transaction. Initially, this reserve may not be met, as only one side has funds; but the protocol ensures that there is always progress toward meeting this reserve, and once met, it is maintained.

Jogco: /* Millisatoshi */ gahh

Bitcoins can be split up in '''satoshi''' and '''millisatoshi'''.

=Satoshi=
The satoshi is currently the smallest unit of the bitcoin currency recorded on the block chain. It is a one hundred millionth of a single bitcoin (0.00000001 BTC). The unit has been named in collective homage to the original creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_(unit)

=Millisatoshi=
The [[Lightning Network]] has the capability to send amounts smaller than the smallest unit on the [[Layer-1]] blockchain. The smallest unit on [[Bitcoin]] is 1 [[satoshi]] but the [[Lightning Network]] can handle [[millisatoshis]] with 1000 [[millisatoshis]] being 1 [[satoshi]].

[[Millisatoshis]] is abbreviated as [[msat]].

The amount is rounded down to the nearest [[satoshi]] when the [[channel]] is closed and broadcast to the blockchain to adhere to bitcoins specification.

A [[Denominations#Millisatoshi|millisatoshi]] is exactly 0.00000000001 BTC. Or 100 billion [[millisatoshis]] are 1 BTC.
