Friends, as an added protection to my node, I enabled the watchtower.

To put it simply, in the event of my node going offline, a malicious node to which I have a channel with... could force-close... and broadcast an old state when they had more sats on their side... thereby stealing my sats.

Watchtower keeps track of the latest channel states & monitors the blockchain. They can send a punishing transaction to the attacker taking all funds in the channel, then send it to the victim. While there may be some privacy implications (watchtowers do see more info about you), I think it's acceptable.

Andreas Antonopoulos explained it well here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2jvUcJqtmI

You can enable it by adding the following to your `lnd.conf`:

[wtclient]
wtclient.active=true

Then restart `lnd` or your node.

Add a node as a watchtower:

lncli wtclient add NODE_URI

Your node can be a watchtower too:

[watchtower]
watchtower.active=true

Get the details & share it to your friends:

lncli tower info
