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?

I also highly recommend that you Read this book "Mastering bitcoin", its free and open source: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

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.

Hello everyone. I want to into deep in bitcoin. Can anyone help me with papers or YouTube channel( truly Channels) because YouTube has a lot trash.
I don't know about videos, but if you want to go technically deep, good start is Mastering Bitcoin (https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook) followed by Mastering the Lightning Network (https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook)

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...

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).

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.

Will LN implementations and spec play out like mining and mining pools did in the first 7 years of BTC?
I guess I mean that the BOLT specifications are important for the LN to stay interoperable, robust, and decentralized. LND is fantastic, full stop. I prefer it. But if you look at Keysend, it was never spec'd. Loop, Pool, and Aperture are proprietary. I don't know, I'm probably being a bit dramatic, but there's this little hint in me that says income stream and protectionism are things Lightning Labs will get further into. I don't want to run something I come to view as a "company node". What set me off was their stablecoin ambitions on Lightning which they bragged about at the Bitcoin Conference which I didn't like. They push this much further, and there will be backlash, just like with mining and pools in the early-mid BTC days. 🤷♂️

Receiving address like bitcoin?
Some wallets now work with human readable lightning addresses. (get one on coinos.com for example) Not ideal from a non-custodial point of view, but helpful for merchants and you can settle to a node you control. Keysend is another thing that's far from ideal, but doesn't require invoices. Then there are tipping environments that also don't use invoices. Might be more which I'm not aware of. LN protocol updates can be seen on github. https://github.com/lightning/bolts

Simple Shibe looking for simple answers from a complex perspective 😝
For the above payment channel protocol, it is already standardized on PSBT and for the invoice part I am hoping to be able to either use BOLT-11 (Lightning's invoice standard) or something that resembles it as close as possible.
