I think it's a seriously undercommunicated issue that will have significant impact on the long term success of the Lightning Network. It's a topic that tends to make people uncomfortable, though. The worst thing we can do is wait until it's too late. If users are unaware of what they need to do to protect their nodes and private keys, a widespread malware attack stealing funds would have a devastating impact on public perception and confidence in the system, not to mention all the pain for those affect.

And I wouldn't be surprised if your hidden vote count is negative right now, since you're not circle jerking. Hopefully people will grow to understand that there are pros and cons to each new chapter we're writing.
