Yea, the challenge is a bit deceptive.

For Monero he's basically telling us the amount he sent (duh) to the stealth address he created (duh) as if any of us said that was impossible and was some difficult feat to achieve (no one claimed either of those. I sure didn't.)

But instead of keeping things similar and asking the amount sent on the Lightning side, he slips in "total balance" (he can't do the equivalent of this with Monero either). And instead of asking for the public key of the node it was sent to, he's asking for a final destination (he can't do the equivalent of this with Monero either)

I answer most of these criticisms in the attached post.

One that I don't go over there is this one: "he slips in 'total balance' (he can't do the equivalent of this with Monero either)"

I can. The total balance of a "one time pubkey" on monero is never higher than its initial balance. It can get lower, but only if that address has shown up in a ring sig later. When I made that post, it hadn't shown up in a ring sig yet, and I know this because it didn't have 10 confirmations yet when I made the post, and monero doesn't let you spend an output til it has 10 confirmations. I have not checked to see if it has been used in a ring sig yet, but if it hasn't, then I know its balance is still the amount I put in it.
