How do you reasonably protect your identity while zapping?

Currently I've been doing the following:

- Send my Umbrel Node that runs on Tor some BTC from a KYC exchange like Strike

- Open some Lightning channels

- Use these to fund Alby or Wallet of Satoshi

- Zap with Alby on desktop and WOS on Mobile

Just curious on how discrete sending lightning payments out of my node's channels is... I'm used to on-chain being easily tracked and am shaky on lightning.

The short answer is everything you're doing is probably fine. The more complicated answer here is that one of your channel partners could be snooping if they're monitoring balances. It's almost impossible to tell where the sats are going though. Someone would just know that you're moving them from one side of a channel to another.

Awesome thank you greatly Derek! Much appreciated, that makes me feel better! Have an excellent evening. I'll keep zapping away!
