It&#39;s too easy to fuck things up and be ensnared.<br/><br/>Lightning is a non-starter for someone in the position of receiving $2 or $5 (many small payments) while also not having liquidity. <br/><br/>Obviously it also doesn&#39;t scale, because either you&#39;re opening a new channel with each transaction, or expanding channel capacity (eithet one is an onchain tx, meaning it&#39;s neither private/anon or does it scale).<br/><br/>Next comes ecash. I&#39;m not going to be personally liable for the money of everyone I orange pill by running a mint, and I&#39;m not going to recommend a randomint that will one day surely rug them.<br/><br/>For the same reason, I won&#39;t recommend a custodial lightning solution either.<br/><br/>Liquid could kinda work, and at least it has confidential transactions.. but software (and hardware, afaik only Jade supports it) support is very lacking.<br/><br/><br/>Lightning works great for people like us (with its many caveats, thr whole network is one giant hot wallet after all). I have channels with obnoxious amounts of usd worth of liquidity that I opened years ago<br/><br/> In case you guys haven&#39;t noticed, that&#39;s not most people.<br/><br/><br/>Unfortunately I have observed that the vast majority (and that includes even most bitcoiners) don&#39;t care and/or don&#39;t understand the value of privacy and anonymity.<br/><br/>Bitcoiners at least understand the fiat scam, that&#39;s why we&#39;re bitcoiners. But most normies in most places don&#39;t.<br/><br/>Normies don&#39;t get the tech either. It&#39;s a bit like the internet, you have a small minority who has any idea how a computer works and how networking works and why you probably shouldn&#39;t be running closed-source apps on closed-source systems running in closed-source hardware.. but most people noy only don&#39;t care, they brag about not caring.<br/><br/>Until they&#39;re hacked (happened to a noob I know recently), and suddenly they understand why they shouldn&#39;t have made their entire digital world as secure as their stupid apple login, because now the &#34;hacker&#34; completely owns them. Then they come crying for help, after years of saying they &#34;have nothing to hide&#34;. Well, now that person literally has nothing to hide, it was all pwnd 😁<br/><br/>Anyhow, the point is, I see bitcoin in a bit of a deadend right now unless you&#39;re a baller and can put in serious money into it regularly. It&#39;s totally unusable in a self-sovereign way for the vast majority of people and I don&#39;t see how this is going to change.<br/><br/>That&#39;s one half of it. The other half is, damn every single one of you who stubbornly failed to see why privacy WITH anonymity was important (not aimed at you <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqs0eac2gh86s9l24qfmnw52xawhz0f3d862yleaetpafygjmanaxlspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzvs8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetnqy28wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mq0uduh3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Cyph3rp9nk</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…duh3</span>)</a></span>), and who&#39;re all so surprised now that the complete lack of priv/anon in bitcoin is being weaponized against it.<br/><br/>Yeah, no shit.<br/><br/>Why do you think they want the mass-surveillance?<br/><br/>To enforce tyrannical laws. DUH.<br/><br/>A totally transparent system gave them that ability ON FUCKING STEROIDS.<br/><br/>Now the chicken are coming home to roost.<br/><br/>And believe me, I take no pleasure in any of this. I&#39;m just another guy trying to live in peace and doing my thing, but all the NGU fanatics and their arrogant ignorance could only result in what&#39;s coming.<br/><br/>Anyway, so I recommend #monero to people nowdays for transactions, and when/if they reach a certain point where saving makes sense, and they have by then enough capital, then it&#39;s time to talk about swapping xmr for non-kyc btc.<br/><br/>But mark my words, all of this is too much for normies. One day they want to sell those btc like normies (kyc cex) and their accounts will be frozen.<br/><br/>They literally don&#39;t understand what fully traceable means. 9 out of 10. It&#39;s incredible, I don&#39;t know what&#39;s between their ears.<br/><br/>Transparent chain. All traceable. By design. It&#39;ll get you into trouble, unless you fit in the officially approved Statist box (kyc purchases, all traceable, no &#34;suspicious&#34; transfers, FULL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL).<br/><br/>It&#39;s... not hard to get.<br/><br/><br/> 2025-01-04T16:10:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy6qky997l8qyrvy5s2pcuvur80l5672d9qu3y2nupq7s75w52fyczyqwssg9vt3xtxl4h3j9hs40u04j46qh94mnjxy7pt4l2lhh0rgmaxecrmzq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrkpakzlpu45vstjq25y4wk8nsv3pjc9kaqrz8js6q9cachcdujsc99q795'>nevent1q…q795</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hmm, isn&#39;t it trivial to find out the actual receiving address by doing timing analysis + knowing the exact amount? 2024-05-16T23:45:54Z
