Optimally Reliable & Cheap Payment Flows on the Lightning Network
Rene Pickhardt, Stefan Richter
Today, payment paths in Bitcoin's Lightning Network are found by searching for shortest paths on the fee graph. We enhance this approach in two dimensions. Firstly, we take into ac…
Security and Privacy of Lightning Network Payments with Uncertain Channel Balances
Rene Pickhardt, Sergei Tikhomirov, Alex Biryukov +1
The Lightning Network (LN) is a prominent payment channel network aimed at addressing Bitcoin's scalability issues. Due to the privacy of channel balances, senders cannot reliably…
Probing Channel Balances in the Lightning Network
Sergei Tikhomirov, Rene Pickhardt, Alex Biryukov +1
As Lightning network payments are neither broadcasted nor publicly stored. Thus LN has been seen not only as scalability but also as privacy solution for Bitcoin. The protocol guar…
Imbalance measure and proactive channel rebalancing algorithm for the Lightning Network
Rene Pickhardt, Mariusz Nowostawski
Making a payment in a privacy-aware payment channel network is achieved by trying several payment paths until one succeeds. With a large network, such as the Lightning Network, a c…
A Generalized Language Model as the Combination of Skipped n-grams and Modified Kneser-Ney Smoothing
Rene Pickhardt, Thomas Gottron, Martin Körner +3
We introduce a novel approach for building language models based on a systematic, recursive exploration of skip n-gram models which are interpolated using modified Kneser-Ney smoot…
