- How to identify and protect against routing attacks on the Lightning Network
To protect against routing attacks on the Lightning Network, utilize watchtowers, verify channel state changes, and prioritize well-established payment channels.
Payment channels on the Lightning Network enable users to conduct transactions without having to log each one on the Bitcoin blockchain, which lessens congestion and costs.
However, like any network, the Lightning Network is not immune to security threats, and routing attacks are one of the potential risks. The effectiveness of the network may be affected by these attacks, and users may face financial risks.
This article will explain routing attacks, how they work, their types, and how to identify and avoid them.

- Bitcoin Mining Operations Continue to Expand Amid the Crypto Winter, While Converting 'Wasted Gas to Energy at Scale'
The bitcoin mining industry continues to expand as companies are obtaining more megawatts of capacity, building new facilities, and acquiring thousands of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs. On Friday, the firm Validus Power revealed it has acquired two natural gas power stations in Ontario, Canada, that will become crypto mining facilities. On the same day, the firm Applied Blockchain got a $15 million loan to fund growth and “buildout of its data centers.” While the bitcoin mining industry’s growth has been exponential, at the same time, bitcoin mining operations are making a significant dent toward cleaning up the world’s CO2 emissions.
