100 sats \ 2 replies \ @purpurato OP 17 Dec \ parent \ on: Is ecash private enough for dark markets? privacy
The question was about ecash and its privacy features.
I don't know much about darknets because I believe as you said it's mostly for drugs and other stuff that I'm not into. But these edge cases do bring some important questions about privacy characteristics that money should have. There is no real freedom without privacy and a good form of money should allow individuals to transact without revealing what they do.
I don't do drugs but I am ready to defend your right to get high if you want to, it's your life it's your choice. Can ecash accomplish that?

If we didn't have coinjoins, swaps, LN, liquid-btc, eCash, then Monero might be useful. As things stand now, I see no point in using Monero.
Bitcoin is a superior form of money, and LN already provides good privacy for all people, except perhaps the darknet drug junkies who have their brains fried.

it's cheap and easy to use privately and you don't need to run a node to receive payments

so you're saying it does not provide good privacy for the people who need it the most and that privacy on lightning depends on the government not caring enough about finding you which can change which should mean it does not have good privacy
