A wild XMR challenge approaches! Nostr user nostr:nprofile1qqs0npwnpyvheqz7zuvuwvv9k460c0hyqlturds40hhfn34vufvehwcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxyh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmds76tlq challenges me to identify the true sender of a monero transaction of his choice. I agree to the challenge and await his tx. I also offer him a counter-challenge when I'm done with his: pay an LN invoice of my choice and tell me the receiver pubkey and its total balance -- i.e. the same data I get by paying a monero address. What will happen? Find out on nostr!
> in what way is it "crackable"?
I answer in this post:
> How about I'll pick a transom and you'll "crack" the true spend?
Sure, I'll do my best! I wrote a free and open source tool for this -- you can paste any monero tx and it will try to identify the true spend: https://github.com/supertestnet/examiner
It doesn't usually find it but sometimes it does. Give me a tx and I'll try it!
Then you do my challenge, OK? The one where you pay a lightning invoice of my choice and tell me (1) the recipient's pubkey (2) the total balance held by that pubkey -- i.e. the same info I can get by paying a monero address
For future reference, here is the invoice I'd like you to pay after I've completed your challenge:

Good luck
Bro I have an entire life outside of arguing with you on Nostr
Ill go ahead and concede that I would not be able to identify that information
need a supertestnet game show in a tweed suit
This is a great challenge. Good luck mate
