Sender privacy is good on lightning. Receiver privacy is not. So withdrawing from a mint associates the receiver node pubkey with you
Wath do u mean with that? What do you know if I give you this: lnurl1dp68gurn8ghj7ampd3kx2ar0veekzar0wd5xjtnrdakj7tnhv4kxctttdehhwm30d3h82unvwqhhx6tcdp6kycmpwqenwwafz69

That is a WoS account. It means it is LOCKED to your mobile IMEI because WoS app cannot be installed without Google services. It means you are kind of tracked, or at least you use a disposable device. NEVER use apps that require google services.

You will see there the destination of your node. But that doesn't mean we can find you, your location or who you are. It could be very easily a private node.

Why the people say that an invoice can expose the utxo that founded the channel @DarthCoin?
reply
If you open a public channel and also is not a simple taproot channel, then yes, anybody can see it in a LN nodes / mempool explorer.
Options to avoid that?
  • use STC (simple taproot channels)
  • buy channels from LSP (it can be full outbound or inbound, or mixed)
  • open channels with LSPs that offer on-the-fly channels (you open them by paying through LN)
  • use decoy LN nodes (private and public)
  • use decoy custodial LN accounts, also can be used to move in/out extra liquidity and fund new channels
I explained all these scenarios in many of my guides.
so the mint knows which token was associated with which pubkey sats withdrawal but does not know which node sent in the sats

Why did you say the receiver privacy is not good?
reply
@DarthCoin explained in #742276.
Another privacy issue with LN in general is that HTLCs use the same payment hash for every hop so surveillance nodes could track payments which happen to route through them. PTLCs fix that.

@ek I don't think he explained well. Can you explain it to me?

What did you not understand in his explanation?

Why the receiver privacy is not good in the lightning network?
reply
@ek that's what I din understand
No, It didn't. So, can you explain?

hmmm that's why SN wants to be the "interceptor" for all so called p2p zaps in SN? To find out each stacker node?
hehehe that's why I like to run decoy nodes and wallets. Nice try SN, πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Receiver privacy is not.
Now with blinded paths, yes.

I assume you want me to assume you’re not trolling again?

define trolling

what you’re doing πŸ‘€

what am I doing? commenting your posts? Is that not allowed here? I paid for it, remember? Or now all comments are considered trolling ? Ok let's rename SN into "pay to troll" then.
