it is extremely easy to run a Tor node and its something credible institutions can do
and also
Tor doesnt leak amounts to the node as information goes by
Discussion
Tor leaks info too, such as volume of requests
That can be used for fingerprinting services and is a good reason to regularly switch to a new circuit
Also, running a lightning node is easy too
fair enough.
onion based routing systems can be vulnerable to traffic analysis by sophisticated actors.
which is why there are L1s designed to function in the open.
and the UX hurdle isnt just the node, its managing liquidity to make the payments you want to make, without locking up your generational wealth in hot wallets.
> it's managing liquidity
That seems to have become very easy too
Lots of people sell channels these days, that's a great l, easy way to get inbound capacity without locking up any of your generational wealth anywhere
And once you have inbound capacity, getting outbound capacity is as simple as hitting Receive
yeah I do it this way.
but its still too much of a hurdle for the 99%.
