Lightning is a privacy tool too!
Not just fast transactions and scale ability.
If you use a swap from onchain to LN
and later back to another onchain address,
you break the logic, probability link
between both addresses!

If used correctly Lightning is the world's best mixer.
Lightning logic
the problem with these kind of privacy solutions is always timing analysis and coordination between swap services.
but its probably ok for now
since there's not enough money in LN for anyone to care
yeah the size is a point.
sure we would need more liquidity
but if the basic privacy is right
then sure it can scale too.
you should consider a time delay between the swaps
and you should also change the size of the amounts too!
then its pretty good
That is probabilistic.
All that truly matters is you move the coins around on LN and then swap back to a brand new wallet.
I think it's pretty unlikely analysts could find your identity. LN is nearly private enough.
Of course LN isnt perfect. We need optional random routing of payments instead of predictable/efficient routing. LN is open to surveillance the same as Tor.
Exactly! ⚡
Keep your sats untraceable 😉🔒💛
