I don't have definite answers to any of your questions and I have no experience with USDT or Tron. But I do know that Aqua wallet is really a liquid wallet and if you want to send it over to any other asset they use swap services. A swap service such as boltz.exchange is most likely what got flagged as a mixing wallet, probably nothing to do with liquid. This is also why the tx took longer to confirm because it needed 2 confirms on the liquid network to send to boltz (2 minutes) then they send the other asset from their wallet (in this case USDT on Tron).

I hope this helps 🤙

Yea, I've been thinking through what they saw from their end and reckon you're probably right. It's not the liquid aspect that is getting flagged it's the swap service, be it boltz or side swap that is probably the transaction that looks like a mix before it gets put onto Tron. Perhaps that Tron address is their own hot wallet but maybe also unique addresses for each transaction which would look mixish? I hope maybe Aqua Wallet or Samson see this note and be able to shine a bit of light on it.

Like you I've never used Tron so unsure about that part.

Personally I'm a bit wary of veering too far away from BTC onchain but fees will, I believe, get really out of control at some point soon so seeing what those who are innovating is worth looking at. I did find Liquid to have a good use case as a store of sats that I could access and use for rebalancing my lightning node when needed without having the high on chain fees make it uneconomic.

Yes I have liked Aqua wallet so far. I try to keep any Bitcoin I earn separate since it's no KYC, but I got stuck last year when fees got huge and was relieved when I finally consolidated my UTXOs when fees dropped.

Now I save up ~1M sats on liquid and then send to my on chain cold storage. It's been working well so far. I also opened up some bigish lightning channels and then swapped back to on chain for liquidity.

Aqua took what Green Wallet were and I think put the need for doing that boltz/side swap thing into the background which is cool and definitely good for my wife. Adding USDt is controversial but for a lot of the world a real use case. Like I said in my note I really wanted to give my wife the chance to try an off ramp experience with Aqua.

We all know the Neo meme of "Where we're going we don't need an off ramp" but we aren't there yet and spending "money" shouldn't be a dirty word so taking advantage of saving for years in bitcoin and using a little of it to live life should be something the community of bitcoiners discuss.
