arXiv:2610.30350v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every implementation of Bitcoin's Lightning payment network disclosed security vulnerabilities in 2026, and every advisory told operators to upgrade. Whether they do has never been measured, because Lightning gossip carries no software version. Matching the feature bits a node announces against the source of every LND, Core Lightning, Eclair and LDK release, we show that gossip reveals a node's release line after all.
