Please help me out here, here's a scheme:
1. Strike user authorizes a $100 worth LN payment to website, internally strike converts them into BTC which at the moment costs, say, $100000.
2. Website holds incoming 0.001 BTC payment for, say, 6 hours.
2.1. If BTC price rises during that time to, say, $110000 then user has sent $110 at that point. Website accepts a payment, converts it to USD, sends $105 USD back to user.
2.2. If BTC price declines during that time to, say, $90000 then user has sent $90 at that point. Website cancels a payment.
2.2.2. If $90 gets back to user account at Strike, then Strike users are susceptible to an attack where payee is incentivized to hold each incoming payment they send.
2.2.1. If $100 gets back to user account at Strike, then Strike itself is susceptible to this kind of attack.
Has this been discussed?

An OG Simple Bitcoin Wallet, it's been through a lot but it's still rolling and the best is yet to come. Proudly made in Ukraine.
I see someone calling Elmo a cuck I renostr, it's that simple.
Btw, if you think Mutiny/Zeus is some kind of weird bad actor issue, it's not.
It's yet another manifestation of deep issues with LN itself and it will be coming up in various forms again and again and will be bombarding all these shiny startups until they have no energy or users left and until WoS is the only thing left for obvious reasons.
A "bitcoin community" coming out as a group of tyrannical, elitist assholes who care about nothing but wealth and power will be hilarious if and once Bitcoin wins, won't it?

what if you guys should just touch some fucking grass?
