you cant tell the real receiver of a monero tx *at all*
but homie wants you to think bolt11 is better because you MIGHT be sending to a proxy
Eat your heart out, nostr:nprofile1qqs936kc97s4k4gqjnmltljgqns0uadh08d77t5mypg3anxkneks37gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0ds5n22nz et. al.
LSPs can't tell if the pubkey in a bolt11 is the *real* destination or just another routing node
They *assume* it's usually the real destination but "YMMV" (i.e. they aren't sure)
Bolt11 has better privacy than a monero address

Why do you always Retpost nstead of simply commenting on the original post?
why are you criticizing me instead of acknowledging your own shortcomings?
> you cant tell the real receiver of a monero tx *at all*
You can
That is how the Columbian guy in the attached video got caught
Chainalysis asked Morphtoken what address they sent the monero to and Morphtoken could give them a straight, honest answer -- because in monero you can just do that, you can log who received the money
In lightning, you can't, because (1) the pubkey in an invoice never even receives any money, it's only used for communication (2) it doesn't tell you what channel or htlc actually received the money (3) it might not even belong to the recipient thanks to trampoline routing
you're assuming access to the sending wallet
which is hardly the default state for CA.
