If nostr used WebTransport instead of WebSockets traffic could tunnel through an Oblivious HTTP relay since it could be wrapped in HTTP/3. Then your IP could be protected. View quoted note →

I just posted Payjoin-in-Potentiam to fund LSPs to open channels on your behalf in one atomic transaction. This is an optimization of Swap-in-Potentiam that posts only half of the bytes to the blockchain to achieve the same outcome. Check it out on Delving Bitcoin:

A payjoin with mixed script types is often better than the same payment done with basic transactions and later script mixing. It's an opportunity to save fees in consolidation. It's an opportunity to save with transaction cut-through. It's an opportunity to open lightning channels ASAP. A mixed input script payjoin offers still more ambiguous interpretations than the alternative chain of basic payment transactions. When both sender and receiver to any transaction match input scripts then of course chain surveillance can't tell input sources apart by script type. However perfect should not be the enemy of good. Wallets can use different scripts. Payjoins with mixed input scripts make a more ambiguous blockchain and opportunities to save money bigtime.
