A Bitcoin Lightning flaw could send a nodes entire balance straight to miners

A flaw in Bitcoin Lightning software Eclair could let malicious peers wipe out a nodes local channel balance through fees.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $86,078.14 24-hour change: up 6.46% Loading price history… 24H Up 6.46% 7D Up 9.87% 30D Up 11.73%　　ACINQ released Eclair 0.14.3 on Sept. 14 to patch three peer-triggered vulnerabilities that could cause operators to lose or lock funds during channel closures, splicing, and on-the-fly funding.　　The Bitcoin technology company, a contributor to Lightning Network development and maker of Eclair and Phoenix Wallet, strongly recommended operators upgrade because malicious nodes could exploit these issues.　　Eclairs patched vulnerabilities　　The most direct attack involved cooperative channel closures. When Eclair was responsible for the closing fee, an adversarial peer could propose a charge larger than the victim‘s local balance. Eclair’s fallback negotiation could accept the proposal, eliminate the operators output and effectively send the entire local balance to Bitcoin miners as transaction fees.　　The patch now rejects closing-fee proposals above an operators configured maximum. Bitcoin Optech described 0.14.3 as a security release addressing vulnerabilities involving channel closing, splicing and on-the-fly funding.　　A second weakness could strand funds during an unfinished splice, a process that changes the transaction funding a Lightning channel without closing it.

Why Are Nintendo Switch 2 Fans Putting 20 Cent Bananas in Their Walmart Carts？

Nintendo Switch 2 owners are putting 20 cent bananas in their Walmart carts, because the fruit forces a grocery promo code to work on games. The code takes $10 off.　　Walmarts banana listing now shows as unavailable for online shipping.

However, it targets grocery baskets, not games.　　Nintendo Switch fans found that Fire Emblem Fortune‘s Weave, Nintendo’s newest strategy game, qualified anyway.

Ripple News: XRP ETF Inflows Hold Through Market Volatility

In the latest Ripple news, spot XRP ETF products recorded $9.56 million in net inflows during the latest five-day trading week, extending their positive run to 10 consecutive weeks. Cumulative net inflows briefly touched a record $1.720 billion on Wednesday before easing to roughly $1.710 billion a day later, a level consistent with the approximately $1.71 billion figure now attached to the streak.　　This is not simply a continuation of a favorable flow trend. It is a demonstration that allocation into XRP ETF products held up through a week that included a failed Senate vote, a Federal Reserve rate decision, and a sharp intraday move in the underlying token, without producing an immediate reversal in demand.　　XRP ETF Flow Coinglass　　Ripple News: How Inflows Survived a Failed Senate Vote and a Fed Hike　　The week opened strong, with $11.26 million entering spot XRP ETFs on the day ahead of the Senate‘s cloture vote on the CLARITY Act, the crypto market-structure legislation whose failure to advance on Tuesday coincided with XRP falling more than 8% within hours, per the primary reporting.
