🤣 I'm trying to do my job with privacy but I'm dumb/a newb/doing this stuff alone ATM 🤣

you gotta admit at some point that maximizing lightning privacy is significantly more difficult than just using something other than lightning... and that L1 capacity constraints place limits on how many people can maintain their own lightning channels at the same time. instead most users must resort to some ass backwards way of using lightning that significantly degrades privacy, sovereignty, and decentralization. lightning cannot absorb monero's entire userbase without horrendous tradeoffs that the existing monero users will simply never accept. if the tradeoffs were acceptable they would have accepted them. they don't. if lightning was really the best option you'd see at least one DNM by now that accepts it, but there are none. people don't want your thing. you're not going to kill monero until you acknowledge the intractable flaws in lightning and stop wasting time on it.

"complete surveillance is the price of freedom" fun fact you can prove amounts without knowing what they are 👍

If privacy isn't built in by default very few will use it privately. Too much friction and potential pitfalls. Who uses PGP over email or texts? Vanishingly few. Transparency might be a strength in one way, but on the other hand it is also a major gift to it's adversaries
