I'm with you in that all these events clearly feel like an attack. What I'm not understanding is what might have happened with boltz, cyber attack or anything else? It seems weird that they're not releasing any more details
You take out Boltz and you take out other services that rely on them for swaps between Lightning and On chain. Some of the affected parties: Zeus, Bull Bitcoin, Aqua wallet, Alby hub etc. It’s attack aimed at the perimeter: wallet providers, liquidity and swap providers etc. But mostly have a psychological effect on people: self custody is not safe, swaps worked well until it didn’t, lightning is shit etc. People with massive amounts of Bitcoin flee to exchanges, ETFs and treasuries. The trap springs. 6102 becomes possible at scale.
I would have almost believed this until you said most contested fork on Bitcoin history 😂 You have been led down the wrong path. 2% of the network has signaled for it. That's not contested. That's a minority. A very small voice that has not realized that BIP-110 is a terrible joke that doesn't work. That said, the certificate has been renewed. I assumed that it was low priority given that they have been under attack for a week. As a systems administrator myself, I will absolutely forget to renew a fucking certificate manually as I am trying to defend the rest of my entire infrastructure. Priorities.

Wdym? Lightning ISN'T shit ?? 🤔 Establishing a centralized payment network on top of BTCs base layer was actually the right way for the resistant p2p money narrative ?? 🤔🤔🤔
