Oh yeah, I've heard of that! I use lightning because its tor-like routing protocol offers really good privacy protections if you run a node. Monero is that one cryptocurrency that's traceable by default, right?

Lightning is traceable by default too, every cryptocurrency is
Then do it
A lightning invoice is attached
Why don't you pay it and tell me (1) what pubkey received the money (2) what its total balance is?
I'll do the same for monero if you like. Give me any xmr address, I will pay it and tell you (1) what pubkey received the money (2) what its total balance is

What makes you think I'm that kind of fed?
I don't think you're a fed
Now guess which IP address I am using.
People here often lack the tools for tracing. Quite different from governments which invest in specialized teams dedicated to that purpose and with legal power to force operators to disclose IP address information.
These same governments even offered quite a large bounty to break Monero privacy and yet failed (look it up)
So I probably can't do what you're suggesting
Neither could a fed
The criminal kind of fed can
Nah
Wishful thinking isn't good protection
Big difference between lightning and monero: you, a random nostr user, admit you don't have the resources to trace a lightning payment. I, a random nostr user, can provably trace a monero payment. Anyone can, because monero is designed to be trivially sender-traceable.
Monero is surveillance money. I recommend using lightning.
Trace a Monero payment then, moron
Lightning works
No one paid this invoice yet but if some one does can use this tool https://github.com/andrerfneves/lightning-decoder
Payee pubkey https://terminal.lightning.engineering/explore/0371d1be108e08d70ec12302abce6e927b0d3b687468ed00c9536ec6e683273e42
I used trampoline routing with a decoy pubkey. Meaning you got the wrong recipient. The actual recipient was Tating Turnup on nostr; Epic Astronaut merely runs a routing node. (See lnproxy.org for more on how this works.) Meaning if you were a chain analyst, you are now stuck watching the wrong pubkey! You've been led on a wild goose chase. Even if Epic Astronaut closes his channel, you'll be following the wrong person's money. Decpy pubkeys is a trick lightning can do but monero can't.
