explain to me how
as an end user,
i should assess the privacy of ANY given LN tx.
I'll wait.
this
"if some rando on the Internet can't trace a random tx, it must be private"
game doesnt prove jack shit.

there IS **NO** lightning network TX. It does not exist.
you **can** cryptographically verify that intermediate nodes can't determine the recipient's identity, but there is NO public ledger of all the transactions.
there's no obscurity or hope, I recommend you to actually read about how lightning works, because you seem to have many misunderstandings
sigh
heres the standard info bro
yes I am aware it isnt a blockchain.
as an end user, i am making a transaction.
If I cannot evaluate my anonset before sending, It is not a good privacy tool.

there is no anonset the way that it's there in monero.
when you generate a lightning invoice you have:
- a pubkey that says where your money needs to end up
- a signature proving the invoice is legit and hasn't been messed with
- a payment hash that works like your digital receipt
that's really all you need! the magic happens in how it works: each node in the path only sees one hop before and after itself.
This was helpful. Thanks.
and you aren't responding to a
ANY of the concerns in the site I linked.
theres a new one of these every few months.
Because this is a network that is effectively still in beta testing.
Quit trying to push it as a finished tested product
