From b6b168f66ea47b2f5706bea155d24927dd4bdf7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zach F <105220288+zdforcier@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2023 16:49:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Update 05-TrustLNGateways.md It seems like the intended message was that if an LN gateway was unresponsive or malicious, a user could choose an alternate LN gateway. However, in the document it says that if the "mint" is down a user could utilize an alternative LN gateway. Unless I'm misunderstanding this mechanism, the wording seems incorrect and should be updated. --- docs/TradeOffs/05-TrustLNGateways.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/TradeOffs/05-TrustLNGateways.md b/docs/TradeOffs/05-TrustLNGateways.md index 630ec199..ac28e454 100644 --- a/docs/TradeOffs/05-TrustLNGateways.md +++ b/docs/TradeOffs/05-TrustLNGateways.md @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ The focus of this risk is on the situation in which an LN Gateway restricts serv Both situations carry a similar impact profile, in that the users of the Fedimint may not be able to transact outside the boundary of their mint.

As such if an LN gateway was down due to malice or technical issue the users wallet would simply utilise an alternate LN gateway. Also it should be noted that the LN gateway represents an economic actor in the system. As such the incentive is for the LN gateway to continue processing payments in order to earn fees.
