This is&#xA;something we should definitely understand before going in a more&#xA;complicated direction.&#xA;&#xA;Also, I&#39;m still not sure that the rational behaviour is to report *c*&#xA;truthfully.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;On Fri, Mar 3, 2023 at 11:51 AM Thomas HUET &lt;thomas.huet at acinq.fr&gt; wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; By giving a high confidence to HTLCs you increase the chance that they are&#xA;&gt; relayed which should be your goal. Having a high reputation is not a goal&#xA;&gt; in itself, it&#39;s just a way to make your HTLCs more likely to be relayed. If&#xA;&gt; you always report confidence 0, then yes you will have a reputation of 1&#xA;&gt; but your HTLCs will still be rejected at the first sign of congestion.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Le ven. 3 mars 2023 à 17:14, Clara Shikhelman &lt;clara.shikhelman at gmail.com&gt;&#xA;&gt; a écrit :&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; Hi Thomas,&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; Thanks for the example.&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; - If c &lt; p then yes it gives it a higher reputation but the reputation is&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt; capped at 1 anyway, so by underestimating the confidence the node doesn&#39;t&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt; gain anything.&#xA;&gt;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; Is there anything to gain from giving high confidence? By doing this, you&#xA;&gt;&gt; risk lowering your reputation, and it&#39;s not clear what you gain.&#xA;&gt;&gt; Could it be that the best selfish strategy is to report confidence 0&#xA;&gt;&gt; (that maps to reputation 1) all the time?&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/attachments/20230303/e91b930a/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
