[ot][spam][crazy] how do i make secure networks now that i've mugged all the hackers of their chains

[Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many]

there was a recent set of [2023-10-16 1936 ET] CVEs regarding bitcoin
lightning network.

i haven't more than glanced at them yet, but their discuss a
vulnerability in lightning that can provide for compromise of the
integrity of funds.

somebody pointed out some years ago what others already knew, which is
that lightning does not have the level of security of [2023-10-16 1938

.... anyway, long story short, bitcoin has been stuck in a draft state
for years now, likely because of the heavy addition of profit and
political motives to its influences.

now, i could adopt some unpleasantly affect and come in, arrogance
blazing, and propose a better protocol (and i imagine many have tried
to do this), but honestly i am too muddled with dissociative stuff to
actually do that accurately anymore.

how might you do it, if you didn't have an obsessive cryptohacker to
write you beyond-classified secure constructs like used to be the norm
in community research? how would you do it, if you were a crazy messed
up confused person, like me?

... a little sadly, the security of these things is similar to (i
happen to be playing chess these days) a chess game. you have to
actually think of all the ways something can be broken, and address
them. there are a few rules of thumb, too.

these rules of thumb were commonly known in the 90s and 00s on lists
like this one, but [obviously things are different].

but it's something like:
- assume it's possible. everything can be broken: everything can be secured:
 -- you keep finding ways to break it and addressing them until you
get so deep into how things can be broken that nobody would try to do
it in your current environment
 -- you watch the changes in the environment and _UPDATE THE DESIGN_
to address them (bitcoin stopped updating its design.)
- keep the solution simple

that's ... roughly it ;P

so, lightning is not simple -- [2023-10-16 19:44 ET] it fundamentally
changes the security model associated with bitcoin [sending this
as-is, most thoughts didn't make it at this time, [important ideas
might include that among politics, security, and profit, the different
focuses interact and do different things, and that the obvious
solution to bitcoin's issues is to obviously to use shared
distribution like bittorrent and [strong eventually-consistent
cryptography that can address global consensus at a later time?]]
