in unconnected topic. just listening the podcasting 2.0 latest, and you are the expert. When you send boost message, can it be seen by everyone and will it end up on btc network?

No, Lightning messages are entirely private unless the sender or the receiver choses to make them public.

Fountain does that on the sending side.

Splits make it a bit more complicated because anyone on the split can see messages.

I technically make boosts and streaming payments to a Hive address public if you look at the @v4vapp account. I hope to have a fancy dashboard up and running but only for the actual Hive recipient at some point in the next few months.

i know that public and forever is a problem for a lot of people so i was not sure are lightning messages forever :) because listening to podcasting 2.0 talking about cross apps comments and how hard it is is painful :) while we are doing just that right now with Engage and peakd :)
