In my opinion, the main reason for running my own fullnode is:

The moment I connect my wallet to a 3th party node, it will search all my addresses for UTXOs. So the node operator can link all these addresses to a single entity/ IP address. I don't even have to do a transaction.

Or am I missing something?

how can the noderunner see all the addresses associated with your wallet? afaik, only if you provide your private key

When my wallet searches on the note for balances on my addresses, the note sees what I'm searching and what I'm finding.

Therefore it knows what UTXOs I own 🤔

I believe you're correct ⚡️

why can't I zap you? do you have a LNURL?

I have a LN-Address (restedcoil79@walletofsatoshi.com) set in my profile. WoS, Alby, Fountain for example support this.

I don't know how to generate a LNURL. WoS should support this, but I can only generate something starting with lnbc1... and I believe this is an invoice without set amount, but with an expiry date. LNURL should start with...well "LNURL" 🙂.

Always something new to learn in the Bitcoin world ☺️
