Don't take my not knowing what you mean as a confirmation that nobody in this space knows what you are talking about.I don't take that. I'd go on a limb to say the majority of readers here are familiar with the concept of threat modeling. Since you don't want to look-up the term, instead slighting me for using it: What is called a threat model is in reality a vulnerability model created by a formal process. In software development, there may not have been a single threat model created by security people that didn't expose vulnerabilities overlooked or not paid attention to by developers of the particular app in question. This is done from an attacker's perspective by people familiar with that perspective, instead of from a developer's perspective which usually doesn't notice vulnerabilities in their own design. This isn't a slight on the developers but that the attacker's mindset and the specialized knowledge of security people are not normally conjoint with general purpose devs.

Impartial? That sounds silly to me, but I know there are tons of people who promulgate their cryptocurrencies and network addons without regard to reality. I'm not one of them. I no longer have any position in any coins, having sold my coins fully in the latest run-up, and am not a creator or anything of any of them.
By the way, you come across as pushing for lightening partially not impartially, since you have danced around the two points I made in my first post. You seem to be an apologist for the tech, not someone who wants to get the right tech implemented. I don't know why you accused me of being partial, when all I did was point out two issues with your statement and asked a question. In reality, you don't seem impartial and should disclose your stake in this tech.
