LND ⚡ Routing's Posts

Apparent DoS, channel service not restarted, and other headaches.

Posted over 2 years ago

Our node seems to have been under sporadic DoS for the past week or so. We are still unsure how that exactly works over Tor.

As of now, we have massively increased resources to the VM, which has managed to keep things online. During the last instance, there were over 10000 incoming connections when we don't have anywhere near that many peers.

If you attempted to use the channel service, please retry. The app quits when LND is restarted, and didn't get restarted for a couple hours a few times while we were diagnosing. All successfully paid-for channels are processed as soon as it is launched, but we do see a number parameter update requests in the logs where we assume the user gave up after not receiving a response.

Announcing our inbound liquidity service.

Posted over 2 years ago

We're happy to announce our new paid inbound channel service. While we still occasionally participate in swaps to manage our own liquidity, we're primarily a for-profit node with investors who have provided over 100BTC.

Benefits of using our service:
  • Actively managed liquidity, virtually guaranteeing successful payments up to your channel size.
  • Large channels to popular destinations and major routing nodes.
  • Open channels to any node, for a friend, or to your favorite service provider.
  • Private LN-only interface via Tor, minimizing our attack surface and maintaining uptime.
  • Fast clustered servers for reliability.
  • Up to 1.5BTC channels, minimum 100k sats. Larger available on request with proven routing history.
  • Competitive pricing and fees.

See https://github.com/lnd-routing/lnd-routing/ for channel opening instructions.

Open an outbound channel to us any time for routing and making payments.
