When you make a payment on lightning from your own node, there is no public record of it, and no way for the receiver to see the sender node.

This is way more private than a public chain with a ring signature

Even if using Alby?

Now add Blind paths in the mix 🥳

?

It’s a privacy technique built on lightning to obscure the receivers/sender identity

Asking for a friend. How would they do it. Any guide for them ?

If they can connect their node to nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 the app can do it for them

Okay thanks. What about Alby?

Honestly I have no clue, I don’t use Alby that much 🙈

Hmmm they’ll figure it out.

Thanks

evil people in between logging payment hashes could be an issue, but we will fix this with ptlcs

Interesting

LN is accidently also the best privacy solution for block chains

Very true. That is, if you did the prepwork to have proper capacity in your channels. I have two, but couldn't zap a sat if I wanted to, because my node is too broke :p

Still ultra mixed on Lightning. Great capabilities, but still feels like an invite-only club o.o

Ingwie- do an install of albyhub on your node. That make it very easy and works well remotely.

I will look at it, but my experience with C-Lightning (CLN) plugins is super spotty. x) Some of the plugins I use have seen their last update...a while ago. Some more than others.

If Alice and Bob have only a single channel opened between them, when the channel closes, are all of the back and forth transactions commited to the block chain, or just the final balance?

Just final
