Note that if using Lightning explorers, just like in existing block explorers,
the privacy can be a concern because, if users are careless, the website may track their IP addresses and collect their behavior records (for example, the nodes users are interested in).
Note that when using Lightning explorers, just like with existing block explorers, privacy can be a concern.
If users are careless, the website may track their IP addresses and collect their behavior records (for example, the nodes users are interested in).
Also what should be noted is that, as there is no global consensus of the current Lightning graph, nor the current state of any existing channel policy, users should never rely on Lightning explorers to retrieve the most updated information. That is, Lightning explorers should only be used to gather loosely statistics of Lightning Network.
Also it should be noted that as there is no global consensus of the current Lightning graph or the current state of any existing channel policy, users should never rely on Lightning explorers to retrieve the most updated information.
Furthermore as users open, close, and update channels, the graph will change and individual Lightning explorers may not be up to date.
Users should instead be running their own node to build a channel graph and stay informed of the latest state of the network.
Where they use Lightning explorers, it should be sparingly or to gather statistics.
