New node runner here. I am running Bitcoin and Lightning, connecting to each over Tor. I have only basic custodial lightning skills and looking to level up.
I linked Alby and Zeus to my node with LNC.
I would like to learn to use Lightning with privacy in mind.
Any steps I should take to avoid leaking my IP / public key / identity to peers or bad actors?
Any 'basic privacy rules' for managing, receiving or sending Lightning funds I should know?
Can just send some sats to my node (via Alby web extension) from a voucher or custodial wallet - and start zapping? Or do I have to make on-chain transactions and open channels to use my node efficiently?
thanks!
