good enough is apparently not good enough for the darknet though

"good enough" only means that it's private as long as you don't really need privacy that much

Then I'm sure you can show me where I can buy weed online with lightning

Because I can show you plenty of places where you can do that with monero

Or why are you so sure?

I can't but I don't see why a DN site couldn't have LN as an option. Maybe monero has the privacy network effects as of now.

How would the police catch someone from a LN invoice? Would they control a bunch of nodes and hope that the bad guy routes through them?

You are doxing your node and from there your channels / utxos.

"darknet" being centralized message boards with a history of being honeypots and rug pulls

meaning the dumbest privacy larps on the internet

the fact that they're shitcoining instead of learning how to use Lightning is all the evidence one needs to conclude Lightning is infinitely more private

Boltz is an interesting case. Depending on how you use it, it can break some chain analysis assumptions.

I'd prefer they not advertise as a DN service, though.

I think Boltz block any onchain addresses linked to terrorists.
