Having a high reputation is not a goal&#xA;in itself, it&#39;s just a way to make your HTLCs more likely to be relayed. If&#xA;you always report confidence 0, then yes you will have a reputation of 1&#xA;but your HTLCs will still be rejected at the first sign of congestion.&#xA;&#xA;Le ven. 3 mars 2023 à 17:14, Clara Shikhelman &lt;clara.shikhelman at gmail.com&gt;&#xA;a écrit :&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Hi Thomas,&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Thanks for the example.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; - If c &lt; p then yes it gives it a higher reputation but the reputation is&#xA;&gt;&gt; capped at 1 anyway, so by underestimating the confidence the node doesn&#39;t&#xA;&gt;&gt; gain anything.&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Is there anything to gain from giving high confidence? By doing this, you&#xA;&gt; risk lowering your reputation, and it&#39;s not clear what you gain.&#xA;&gt; Could it be that the best selfish strategy is to report confidence 0 (that&#xA;&gt; maps to reputation 1) all the time?&#xA;&gt;&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/attachments/20230303/bc05d231/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
