We also show how a lack of signature checks in many clients—whether due to outright skipped verification
Afaik, Primal is guilty of this. Their client does not verify signatures.

Either way, the hard part is motivating people to want to learn about money.
I recently watched this (1:03 - 1:38):
If you can get a student to want to understand something, most of the work is done. So when I look at school, I can't believe how badly structured it is, because the idea is effectively to threaten you into learning something. That's not going to make it stick, it's not going to make you want to learn more.
So my feeling is that you want to create a desire in the student to understand the thing, then your work is pretty much done, then it's like play.
So I wonder if there's a game out there where you can learn about money in a fun way.

Same reason why any network has a hop limit:
In computer networking, TTL (Time to live) prevents a data packet from circulating indefinitely.

lol, apparently you can just submit a fake ID of your MP via use-their-id.com:
Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like.
It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. The IDs actually work (for Reddit, Discord etc.) which highlights how terrible this implementation is.

Connected to a Mullvad server in London and visited a nsfw subreddit:
Just entering a fake birthday is not enough, it actually requires verification:

nothing happens with the zaps or replies after deletion, they stay

yeah something like that
121 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek 27 Jul \ on: Why don't wallet logs correlate with failed zaps? meta
It might be because the receiver wasn’t even able to return an invoice so your wallet didn’t even start paying. Sender wallet logs only start when a payment attempt starts.
That’s confusing, maybe we can change that.
But also need to confirm if that’s what you’re seeing.

How did you open a channel before? Opening a private channel is basically the same, you just need to tick a box.
But yeah, definitely get familiar with the documentation, helps a lot with running a lightning node
