Onion sites have been taken down too. They're still on a server somewhere.
An onion service does not have to leak the IP of its host.
Honestly I think Lightning itself is enough of a "mixer" that government could try to ban it on AML grounds, or force KYC compliance as you say. But that's only for custodial.
I am not saying that they are not going to try to ban noncustodial Lightning - let that be outside of the scope of this discussion. Solution for now: You can run you own lightning node and connect with peers using Tor.
Also, a mint isn't "locked" to an IP address or particular lightning wallet. They have an independent, verifiable identity anywhere they "go".
True. But the ones listed on https://mintindex.gandlaf.com/ are accessed through a DNS record that leaks their IP. Are there any mints that are offered as onion-only services?

Oh yeah for sure. But we're still in the "fuck around" phase.
I'll dig around because I'm curious too.
Maybe hit up calle on nostr?
