Is there any chance for them to know where the funds went when you deposit it to your own #lightning node and loop out (let&#39;s say after a random amount of blocks via several randomly sized transactions) to your cold wallet? My understanding says no because of the onion-routing style transactions but I want more opinions on this.<br/>Would sending part (or all) of the amount further to a second #LN node and looping out from there (either partly or fully) increase your privacy or is that negligible? <br/>Is the trace sufficiently lost after exchange -&gt; node1 -&gt; loop out or can you increase it after another transaction as in exchange -&gt; node1 -&gt; node2 -&gt; loop out.<br/><br/>#plebchain #noobstr #KYC 2023-08-22T12:40:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9ylhc5s46eqm8krd0w9z23k4c8aspruu78c95ge5fwq0q0xzc2qczypn7kun00wuwx9jp3n2xe7shp4vqx309rtdurphc774q6suq27f4qtv2re7 Due to the recent mempool flooding I&#39;ve been doing quite some reading and calculating and was interested to hear the opinions of smarter minds on this:<br/><br/>How are we going to scale in the future?<br/><br/>I believe #Lightning is the way forward and I believe using LN for daily activities like the coffee shop and zapping on #Nostr works perfectly. The problem I see is: Even with LN it&#39;s not possible for everybody to participate because the on-chain capabilities currently don&#39;t allow it unless we fully rely on custodial means and not even then could we meet demand. <br/><br/>My question to smarter minds therefor is: <br/>What scaling options other than blocksize increase exist or are being worked on? Where can I read/learn more? I know that for the demand currently BTC works as it&#39;s supposed to and the mempool spamming just proved the system works (e.g. moving bitcoin from the hands of the spammers to miners and back to the hodlers via exchanges) but I was wondering how we&#39;re going to deal with it in the future. <br/><br/>Please spare me the &#34;bcash is the real bitcoin&#34; or &#34;CSW was right&#34; because I think neither of them are viable options rn because we just centralise in other parts of the ecosystem (and CSW is a massive fraud).<br/><br/>IMO if we don&#39;t scale to the point where we can all transact on LN but still cold store and hold our own keys something went wrong...<br/><br/>So... what are our options? <br/><br/>#bitcoin #plebchain #scaling 2023-05-18T21:59:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0vze89pus7u3m0syeau292z6macdjakfh59gmnk3y4g04d0dcncczypn7kun00wuwx9jp3n2xe7shp4vqx309rtdurphc774q6suq27f4qndd30c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0rslq9svppmjlhu99w85hmxjvmlpdhhnyw5lajwfrerljnhrs42sdse3yw'>nevent1q…e3yw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was looking into CB card too, but being based in Switzerland that’s currently not an option unfortunately. <br/><br/>Also: is there any card provider also accepting Lightning? I’d prefer salary -&gt; convert to BTC -&gt; cold storage -&gt; when needed fund payment provider via lightning or pay directly via lightning. <br/><br/>I’m fine with deducting fix costs like phone Plan etc directly from bank account but would prefer lightning directly as well. 2023-05-16T20:07:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq8605grysq09lyuycqfauakzzvnzzk26nrz05lmxpkenkfnzfnqczypn7kun00wuwx9jp3n2xe7shp4vqx309rtdurphc774q6suq27f4qk5ayxn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyqek2resdfljjq99gne9xzjn046mwj29xaw3ly9z4ntnrq75359g6f30wn'>nevent1q…30wn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah I guess that’s alright for me as well. I don’t think there’s a way for me to receive payment from my employer in BTC directly. I’d be ok with moving my money out of that account each month and live off BTC if I find a way to do that though. Hence the question: how do I do that? 😂 2023-05-16T19:41:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxu0zqv5mrh35y4r2gwcpn49n4zvg3zs7sc4z9cvwfgl2sdfuupuszypn7kun00wuwx9jp3n2xe7shp4vqx309rtdurphc774q6suq27f4qdmk6mp Anyone here from Europe living fully on Bitcoin only?<br/>I’d have a few questions…<br/><br/>#plebchain 2023-05-16T19:31:04Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst5kz5ge8v6yj3j36wml0ur35xkf6xavt3skp4nqs45w405qfn3aczypn7kun00wuwx9jp3n2xe7shp4vqx309rtdurphc774q6suq27f4qulqzct In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz9as3dych75hp4rp8lvak2szvyvpu6hvz4k03t88uduwtz8qsjrsn646yp'>nevent1q…46yp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Haha yeah I thought about that as well. 😂 wanted them to experience it themselves too tho… 😁 2023-05-10T13:00:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9lxsjwdveuhwlfmhe4d0sy6ly2lg349ww6luuuhndzpt5e953pdqzypn7kun00wuwx9jp3n2xe7shp4vqx309rtdurphc774q6suq27f4qz20vth In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsteqx9p7wpfz2n57tzmdc0pysrzm053adgzhxfx2w3jydps93hjjcy5vep6'>nevent1q…vep6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks for the suggestion.
