Сеть Lightning Network не «безнадежно сломана»

Несколько недель назад пост Уди Вертхаймера облетел заголовки криптомедиа, содержа резкое утверждение: сеть Lightning Network «безнадежно сломана» в постквантовом мире, и её разработчики ничего не могут с этим поделать. Заголовок быстро распространился. Для компаний, которые уже создали реальную платежную инфраструктуру на основе Lightning или оценивают её, последствия были тревожными.

Это заслуживает взвешенного ответа.

Вертхаймер — уважаемый разработчик Bitcoin, и его опасения вполне обоснованы: квантовые компьютеры, если они когда-нибудь станут достаточно мощными, представляют собой реальную долгосрочную проблему для криптографических систем, от которых зависят Bitcoin и Lightning. Эта часть верна, и сообщество разработчиков Bitcoin уже серьезно работает над этим. Но представление Lightning как «безнадежно сломанной» скрывает больше, чем раскрывает, и компании, принимающие решения по инфраструктуре, заслуживают более ясной картины.


Что Вертхаймер сказал правильно

Каналы Lightning требуют от участников обмена открытыми ключами со своим контрагентом при открытии платежного канала. В мире, где существуют криптографически значимые квантовые компьютеры (CRQC), злоумышленник, получивший эти открытые ключи, теоретически может использовать алгоритм Шора для получения соответствующего закрытого ключа и оттуда украсть средства.

Это реальное структурное свойство работы Lightning. Что упускает заголовок

Угроза гораздо более конкретна и гораздо более условна, чем «ваш баланс Lightning может быть украден».

Во-первых, сами каналы защищены хешем, пока они открыты. В транзакциях финансирования используется P2WSH (Pay-to-Witness-Script-Hash), что означает, что исходные открытые ключи внутри мультиподписной схемы 2-из-2 скрыты в блокчейне до тех пор, пока канал остается открытым. Платежи Lightning также основан

Cardano Founder Explains Why Midnight and NIGHT Differ Fundamentally From Ripple and XRP



Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson contrasts Midnight ($NIGHT) with Ripple and $XRP, arguing that the two models differ fundamentally in how value is created and distributed.

Hoskinson made this known during a recent interview with Wendy O on “The O Show.” His commentary centers on ownership, token utility, and whether network growth directly benefits token holders.

Key Points

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson argues that Midnight ($NIGHT) and $XRP differ fundamentally in value creation and distribution.

He argues Ripple uses $XRP sales to generate capital for external investments and acquisitions, but $XRP holders never benefit from this model.

Hoskinson compares Ripple’s model to Tether’s, where value accrues mainly to a central entity.

His comments have reignited tensions with the $XRP community, raising the prospect of renewed disputes with figures like Brad Garlinghouse.

$XRP Holders Don’t Benefit From Ripple’s Value Creation Model

Speaking in response to questions about $XRP’s recent momentum, Hoskinson acknowledged the token’s visibility but challenged the underlying structure supporting its growth.

He claimed that Ripple retains significant control over $XRP supply and uses the token as a mechanism to generate capital, which it then deploys into external ventures such as acquisitions and new business lines.

According to him, this model creates a disconnect between $XRP holders and Ripple’s broader financial success. While the company expands its footprint through moves like acquiring firms such as Hidden Road or launching new products, he argues that $XRP holders do not gain ownership rights or direct financial exposure to those developments.

He further pointed to the absence of staking or yield mechanisms as evidence that $XRP’s value proposition is

A crypto trader has seen a $370,000 profit in an almost forgotten digital asset in his portfolio during a swift turn of events, according to a post by Lookonchain. The trader, who spent 9.1 $ETH, equivalent to $21,600, in September 2024, to buy 8.02 billion ASTEROID tokens, saw the value of his digital assets decline to almost zero before the sudden surge.

A Long-Term Holder’s Benefit
It took a total of 580 days for the significant turn of events, triggered by Elon Musk’s response to a now-viral post about the meme coin in X. In a swift move, ASTEROID Shiba gained over 45,000% to become one of the most talked-about events in the cryptocurrency circle. The token’s market cap surged past $20 million, causing the trader’s holdings to rise to $392,000 in value, which reflects a $370,000 gain.

#Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Chinese-Canadian educator and Predictive History host Jiang Xueqin has stirred debate after arguing that Bitcoin may have been created by the CIA or a broader US “deep state,” rather than by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. The claim, made on the April 15 episode of the Jack Neel Podcast, quickly drew pushback from prominent Bitcoin commentators who said Jiang’s argument rests on a basic misunderstanding of how the network works.Was Bitcoin A CIA Project?Jiang, a Beijing-based commentator with 2.3 million YouTube subscribers, framed the theory around what he described as a game-theory process of elimination. He said the standard origin story “makes no sense,” asking why someone would spend years or even decades developing blockchain technology only to release it to the world for free and then disappear. Related Reading: BlackRock Is Buying Up Bitcoin & Ethereum Again, And The Numbers Are Staggering“So then you have to ask yourself three questions,” Jiang said. “First of all is who would have the technology and the expertise to create something like the blockchain. Second of all, you have to ask who would benefit from this blockchain creation. The third question you want to ask is why would they keep it secret?”From there, Jiang argued that the likely candidates were US intelligence and defense agencies, citing the role government-linked institutions played in building foundational internet infrastructure. “Probably the same people who created the internet, probably the same people who created GPS, DARPA, NSA, CIA, probably these guys,” he said. In his telling, blockchain would serve two strategic purposes: surveillance and covert financing.He pushed the argument further by suggesting that the network’s value depends on people believing it sits outside political control. “The answer is only if people believe that this was transparent, open and beyond authority, beyo
