I feel like I am playing Tetris. Not even joking, this stack is big...

From bottom to top:

- run and start a bitcoind full node

- start electum server (this is why full node)

- start lnd, pick a channel. I still don't know how mandatory this actually is though...

- Use a #Nostr compatible lnurl server so that internet identifiers resolve against /.well-known/lnurlp/ and result in proper payment transactions

I... wow. This is a lot man o.o No wonder there are fees everywhere. This is actually a bit of a nightmare xD And I haven't even gotten into learning more on how to run and use Monero. Oof... :/ But, if I run so much of this stuff on my own, why do I need to open a Lightning Channel in the first place? I can just expose it online - no? There are still questions left and a looooot of things to do...

Help. .-.

Don't burnt yourself out bro! Tackle them one at a time when you get inspired. In the meanwhile, there are simple intermediate plateaus to chill on with most bang for your buck.

First, buying KYC-free is already a massive step in privacy.

Use Phoenix, Breez, or Blixt for self-custodial LN without running your own LN node and messing with channels. Phoenix has tor built in. Sender privacy is decent on LN.

Using Monero with a public node is relatively safe and private behind tor or vpn. Try Feather Wallet for desktop it tunnels everything behind tor for you. Like I said before, reciever and amounts stay hidden completely even with public nodes so no worries. Potentially a public node can figure out the sender in a ring, but the way the attack works needs you to send the transaction twice. The way to avoid this: If you ever get an error when trying to send, just change to a different public node for that transaction to be safe. Extremely rare thing and easily avoidable.
