My friend, you have successfully confused a lightning invoice for a transaction
A lightning invoice is like the LN equivalent of this: monero:46BeWrHpwXmHDpDEUmZBWZfoQpdc6HaERCNmx1pEYL2rAcuwufPN9rXHHtyUA4QVy66qeFQkn6sfK8aHYjA3jk3o1Bv16em?tx_amount=239.39014&tx_description=donation
It tells you a pubkey but that is only used for communication, it does not receive money
Go on, both of you -- I am learning a lot today! 🤗
> Go on, both of you
Ok :)
The node found by "Bitcoin Anonymous" on the lightning explorer might not even be the recipient's -- it might be a routing node. Some routing nodes (like lnproxy, and some of my software) let users create invoices that use the routing node's pubkey instead of the user's. This helps prevent users from finding out your node's location on the p2p network.
OK but every invoice I create on my node exposes my IP. I'm using CLN.
Consider putting it on tor
OK then it exposed my TOR node address. Now I am sending my kyc'd coin to a darknet. Might as well buy monero at this point.
> OK then it exposed my TOR node address
Yeah, your *TOR* node address
> Now I am sending my kyc'd coin to a darknet
I recommend buying on robosats or bisq so that your coins aren't KYC'd
> Might as well buy monero at this point
I suppose so, if you want worse privacy
Got it, thanks
Hold up, why would it matter if the coins are kyc or not if lightning transacting are completely private. Serious question.
So to not have to worry about sending my kyc'd coins to a darknet, I have to buy kyc free coins on a darker, and the only way to buy kyc free coins is to send my money to a darknet. Wow
