 So I recently did a denial of service attack on myself and this was because I accidentally set the fees wrong on my main most connected lightning node which is 0.ln.antonov.com and that node has 190 channels or so and I wanted to set the the base feet to 0 to enable some routing algorithms that really give great results when the base fee is 0 specifically a routing algorithm called Picard payments invented by Rene Picard that is being researched right now and so I set the base fee to 0 but then I accidentally also set the prorated or proportional fee to 0 also now guess what happens when you have a very well connected node with 180 channels or so 190 channels and you charge 0 fee for routing just 0 all together well the entire lightning network tried to route over my node and my node run out of HDLC space on the channels and then promptly crashed so then I had to bring it back up and figure out why it crashed and then I tried to use the command line to change the routing fee so then I discovered an interesting discrepancy because in the configuration file where you set the routing fee for channels that have yet to be opened the routing fee is described as satoshis per million for the proportional routing but in the command line it uses a percentage so I wanted to set it to 500 satoshis per million which is 0.05% and instead I set it to 500% 500% and then nobody wanted to route through me because yeah because the fee was 500% so then I got no routing through my node and then I had to fix it again fortunately someone contact me and it was quite funny someone sent me a message on telegram they said do you know that you have 500% fees set on your node I'm like no I didn't know that but thank you so much I will now fix that so yes I went from being a black hole that sucked all of the HDLCs on the network into it to being a supernova that repelled all HDLCs and send them away thanks for watching if you'd like to support me please consider subscribing to my channel and supporting me on patreon.com
