It's clear you're not looking at this from a neutral perspective. Given that the situation is significantly different than you imagined and your view has not changed.
> Many defendents refuse a plea bargain of "guilty" because they don't want to be put on that list.
This is not the US.
> Non-police residents can inquire about felons on the list because of Sarah's Law
This is no different than an extended check which any company allowing you to work with children can carry out. The difference is here that vulnerable new partners of the person can enquire if they see fit.
It is about keeping people safe, not punishing people. It's literally a criminal offence to reveal information about someone having to sign the register.
> I was willing to tolerate Ledger's issues here ... if they fixed them

Your first two lines completely contradict each other.
Lightning seems quite sound in theory, but I have misgivings about the order in which a fresh transaction is signed, and the secret to the old transaction revealed.
It would seem that by interrupting this chain before both old secrets are revealed, the attacker could safely claim all coins in the channel.
> 3 days? In contrast, your liability is capped at $500 if you inform your bank of debit card fraud within 60 days.
Unless your bank considers the fraud to have been caused by a lack of care on your behalf, in which case you will not be refunded and have virtually no means of appeal
(note: Obviously depends on your country and local laws)
I noticed you've posted the same thing in many different posts with increasing inaccuracy.
> instead they have to be given permission to transact by monolithic liquidity hubs
Completely false
> who of course must take their own fee
May, and routes aren't prescribed so they may take a fee on a payment that may be routed through them.
> I would want a rate of return similar to stocks but times some multiple to account for the very high risk of my hot wallet getting hacked and losing all my money.
What. This is completely disconnected from Lightning's functionality.
> The fact the software doesn't do what any sensible user would expect is completely irrelevant to Poettering.
Logs and error and continues? I think you're confused by Systemd exposing all sorts of frailties of traditional software. How do you propose that it differentiate between UIDs and user names?
Are you reading the same thread as me? He replied explaining precisely why this is an error and received nothing but hate for it, 40 thumbs downs.
On the other hand, you come here to uselessly complain and have the temerity to complain that poettering doesn't write exactly the code you want him to write.
