To update lnd on an old #RaspiBlitz only one line need to be pasted to the terminal. That will download, verify, update and restart the service:

The only real "Man in the Middle Attack" on Crypto are the Regulatory Compliance Agencies and Fat Bureaucrats.

There is no freedom in regulatory compliance. And don't you forget that.

"True Names" by Vernor Vinge was written a **long** time ago, but is a really forward thinking piece of fiction about nyms in the digital/virtual world. It's short, and entertaining too. Adam Back is always recommending it.

He also wrote "A Fire Upon The Deep" which is one of my favourite scifi books, breathtakingly imaginative.
