0 sats \ 4 replies \ @DarthCoin 9h \ on: Introducing BetterStrike: Anonymous Strike Wallet through Tor bitcoin
What is the goal with making this ? Why would I use this so called "anonymous" Strike instead of multiple other LN wallets that could do a better job?

Let me set this straight: People should use non-custodial wallets whenever possible. Phoenix, ZEUS... or even better their own nodes.
However at times they are not reliable and/or require knowledge and management (opening channels, rebalancing, syncing), so a back up solution such as this one might be a good idea, depending on everyone trade offs.
The reason I built this are two:
  1. when I use Robosats, payments frequent fails. So I used this as a temporary backup method: when payment fails, I get funds through my webapp and then forward them to my CLN node.
  2. when I am outside, I prefer not to connect to my home node for security reasons.
I registered to strike no-kyc via tor, and only ever connected to their api via tor limiting the exposure of my information.
That being said, if non-custodial solution always work flawlessly, people should NOT use this project or any non-custodial wallet.
Also, in my own opinion, NO-KYC custodial solutions should not be demonized when they are used correctly and with limited amounts.

now this is interesting, one cud send sats from a kyc'ed Strike account to a decoy non-kyc'ed Strike wallet, that looks like a legit Strike user, and then send them off to wherever.
neat exercise in privacy and sats flow.

ah ok so you want to use it only with the bitcoin part, just as a decoy wallet, using strike node liquidity and then just move the sats to your custody. Yeah that make sense.
