Lightning and ecash are both better for privacy and better for small transactions and can actually scale
Monero has only good principle but no actual viable tech
Discussion
I agree they can both be better for privacy but neither are Bitcoin. I disagree with your other point. Bulletproofs, Ring CTs, and Dandelion ++ aren't viable?
Anything that relies on Blockchains to process transactions can't scale, especially ones that trades off bloat for privacy (ring ct) - if everyone used it, nobody could run a full node
You need different layers that make different trade offs to actually be viable
Lightning is definitely Bitcoin, you can trustlessly revert back to mainchain at anytime

I'm also more of a fan of Lightning and Ecash than Monero.
That's just semantics. It's like saying a dollar bill is not an actual dollar but a representation of it.
LN is just a band-aid solution for the scalability problems that plagues BTC
been a while since an asinine
Monero rage bait post from nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhkvun9deejuat50phjummwv5hsz8rhwden5te0wfjkccte9e3xjarrda5kuurpwf4jucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9e6hg7r09ehkuef0avzrjf
no actual viable tech?
what not "viable" about stealth addresses?
Ring CT?
Dandelion++?
Monero is literally mostly tech proposed for Bitcoin and then abandoned.
Cope harder bro 🙏
its kinda sad actually
smart guy. principled. sacrificing his health to build open source software.
and still posting close minded ragebait and running away from any actual dialog.
we went from rigorous cypherpunk critical thinking,
to this lukewarm trolling and misinformation on about 10 years.
it doesn't bode well for the next 10.

Anyone on the path cannot see where the payment is coming from
It's also untrue that you can identify payments with a well funded node, if payments don't flow through your node you can't see shit
This note is incorrect on many levels
My understanding is they would only see the previous hop and the next hop. Do you know about this unique ID? I think nostr:nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq32amnwvaz7tmgd9ehgtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqyluj3x meant the well funded entities can create big nodes that have frequently used channels. I'm learning here.
that “unique ID” is the payment hash
