Free ebooks on Cryptocurrency, a small collection I read
"Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos: The printed version is not free, the complete text is available on GitHub. It's an excellent resource for understanding Bitcoin from a technical perspective.
- Writing a summary on HD wallets, first part done, correct so far ?
- Anything missing?
- Any good book about the math behind the encryption within Bitcoin?

How do I find the target hash
The target is stored in the block header. You can see it in any block explorer labeled BITS or nBits. It is stored in a compressed format, as described in Mastering Bitcoin https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/ch10.asciidoc Scroll down to "Target Representation"

Introducing Ledger Recover & Answering Your Questions
You should read this chapter - it kinda explains why the chip need to be able to manipulate and access the private key. It works exactly the same way for every hardware wallet.

Smart Contract Security Field Guide
True although I'm not talking about Ethereum smart contracts, I'm talking about Bitcoin ones which are very limited and not Turing complete. The lightning smart contract is like 20 lines and has been live since 2018, I feel the probability of the contract getting hacked is very low(famous last words!) https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/03-transactio...
- Is there any Bitcoin layer (eg. Bitcoin = L1, Lightning = L2, etc.) on which the satoshi (SAT) is divisible?

Does Lightning Network have its own hard forks?
LN is a protocol for sending signed txns around, keeping track of balances locally, and broadcasting channel open/close/justice txns. All the rules are outlined in the foundational BOLTs https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/00-introduction.md

What's LNURL and BOLT12?
BOLT12 offers an attempt to achieve some of the core functionality that LNURL provides without requiring the use of a web server. An offer encodes the data necessary to reach a node to request an invoice to make a payment, either a node_id, or a blinded path (the last few hops in an onion route, pre-computed and encrypted) to that node using onion messages. It also can encode a minimum amount for a payment, the currency being paid in, an expiry time and minimum/maximum quantity numbers (for purchasing multiple items).

Safe Lightning Transactions Without The Need for Watch Towers or Continuous Network Connectivity
In practice, I do not know if this is possible. I am quite unfamiliar with Bitcoin OpCode scripting and if the revocation tree of the channel state (which is just an unpublished Bitcoin contract) is expressive enough to allow inputting an arbitrary address to recieve the attacker's funds. I am attempting to use this documentation as a clue to whether or not, and how this might be possible: https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/03-transactions.md.

Chainalysis: The $8.6B Startup That Helps Governments Trace Crypto
No they can't, that's the whole point of onion routing. The next hop doesn't know if the packet started with you or if you're just another node in the payment path.

Negative fees
There is a discussion to add to the lightning BOLT specification for 'inbound fees' which essentially enables a 'rebate' for using a particular channel to route through your node.

Is sending BTC over the lightning network private and anonymous?
tbh i have a text file with definitions of many of these because I constantly confuse them, most of which were pulled from using search at https://github.com/lightning/bolts and similar
