Lower numbers are better. Measures influence of a given node in the network. Better ranks imply a well-connected node that is linked to other well-connected nodes.

Hopness Rank: 4462

Weighted for channel sizes: 1227

Lower numbers are better. Measures how many hops it takes to reach any node on the network. The better the rank, the fewer the hops are required to reach other nodes.

Betweenness Rank: 2741

Weighted for channel sizes: 1759

Lower numbers are better. Measures how often this node falls on the shortest path between other nodes. The better the rank, the more likely the node will route a payments.

Possible current attack on lightning network. Node temporarily offline to await information and patch.

Posted 9 months ago

Some of my channels have closed outside of my doing. I suspect this to be some sort of attack, or exploit being actively tested. My lightning node is temporarily stopped until the patch for clightning is ready. If you had a channel open with me that closed, we can reestablish them. If you currently have a channel open to me, be patient, I will be back online in less than a week. I stopped the lightning router to prevent channel closures from this suspected attack. See this for details https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/4851 Posting here as a PSA and to gain attention to this issue I reported on github. If this is some sort of attack it could be disruptive to the lightning network at scale if not fixed immediately and cause on chain congestion. If anyone has information on what is going on in my scenario please share.
