If you buy your Bitcoin from a KYC exchange, but you run your own node and use your node for all transactions… are you doxxing your node by sending/broadcasting all of your already-identified UTXOs through that node?

If so, then what about if you run this node over Tor. My assumption is it would hide your IP etc., but if there’s some sort of identifier for the node itself, then it still gets doxxed by your KYC corn?

Or maybe I have this wrong. New to this…

I doubt KYC will be trackable once funds are used to open channels. But better get an answer from someone who is sure.

I’m not even thinking about a Lightning node - just basic Bitcoin core node to validate your own wallet’s transactions when you receive from the exchange and/or send to cold storage.

Does broadcasting a transaction from your node dox the node if the UTXO was KYC’d? That’s what I’m really trying to figure out.

As far as I know, it will be viewed as a separate on-chain wallet like any other wallet for that matter.

What if you don’t use the node’s wallet? You use an electrum wallet and instead of broadcasting from the electrum node, you connect to your own, Node X, every time.

I guess what I’m wondering is, how much information does the node display about itself when it broadcasts a wallet’s transaction…?
