Makes sense, thanks. Ignore my comment, for me X is just noise delivered at algorithm tempo. Perfect brainwashing tool.

Correct, the point of this post is to highlight the fiat discrepancies somehow mirroring in the Lightning Network

Bringing X drama 'round here again? Wouldn't it be better to bring the SN signal to X instead?

Yes, sure thing. I'm not talking about end users, it's more about node runners and the ability they have to operate guaranteeing a service. Can you recognize some disadvantages for people running nodes where hardware, internet, and electricity are not taken for granted as they are in the West?

Why can these LN banks be locally managed? I don't remember exactly who was talking about it: Cuba is a great example, from what I read. The question is how and what we can do to make their lives easier. Are solutions like Lightning.pub a better option compared with existing tech heavy like LNbits and BTCpay servers?

Or we just wait for the next custodial service to offer LN around there?

you are probably right: IP means nothing. However, I believe that somehow the data reflects a reality of LN accessibility and resource distribution. Southern countries are more exposed to custodial solutions just because running a node is inaccessible to those in need. II wonder if solutions like LNbits, Fedi and similar are (or will be) more effective at some stage.

Ah damn, sorry I deleted this and reposted here #1357852

You are correct, we cannot assume this data is exact. We can't determine how many nodes are using tunneling. I don't think is a significant amount, and big players probably don't even care. Let's not consider private node.

I still believe some truth is still reflected in the data; we are not talking about small numbers anymore. I'm analyzing it in more details here #1357898

that's a fun alternative way to see it! I see more KYC as a disease, lol

@grayruby si referring to the sybil fees change, raised from 10% to 30%. Can't remember exactly when

Indeed, I made a pin, so we can compare what future SN enhancements will do for territories.

Is not here because, from what I know, is not a "forever territory". Or am I wrong?

However, I have some data I can share directly in ~Construction_and_Engineering after I redact it and make it presentable.
