this is indeed the problem.
afaict there is no good way for an end user to measure the anonset of these tools.
(assuming you trust the maker or coordinator in the 1st place)

Another reason why non kyc on 2nd and 3rd chains just seems superior. Fuck kyc.
it depends doesn't it
like we're in a situation now of trying to measure LN privacy
and because its not a homogeneous thing it ain't easy.
like prove to me your routing node isnt spying on you?
for ecash, ok we can know for sure.
but custodian trade-off 😕
its not an easy fix
What about liquid?
A little more nuance for how to protect yourself, but it's a good option too. Amounts are completely hidden but UTXO chains aren't.

Always numerous options, liquid is good especially if you purchase directly onto liquid. Then there is also hodlhodl and robosats to avoid KYC altogether.
