Subnostr

Yes 🙌 And if you’re the middle hop of that route, or one of several hops in the middle, you can even choose to charge me a small % of the total amount I want forwarded as a way of compensating you for helping me get my payment to the final recipient. That’s where fees on lightning payments come into play.

Also, if there are other hops/forwards in between, those extra nodes only see the nodes directly adjacent to them in the sequence. Aka they even don’t know it was a payment from tanel to wolfbear

(this is true right 🤣)

Yes true 😂 Nodes along the route only know which node they received it from and which they sent it to.

Lighting tutorial team effort! Only on nostr. (I’m afraid some dork would have told me why I’m a moron on “another app”)

Could someone operate as a mass go between? A "mixer" for lack of a better term in my vocabulary.

Yeah there are nodes that provide massive liquidity and are well connected. Only trade off we want to be careful of is centralization where too many people depend on that go between.
