First I want to preface by saying I never denied you could give me the info you did from a Monero transaction (you're obviously not a third party if you're making a transaction with me), nor did I claim I could give you any of the info you cherrypicked for me to give you. But that being said just for fun this is what I could find from the invoice: Network: bitcoin mainnet Amount: 0.00001054 BTC Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2025 10:10:30 GMT Payment Secret: 0c92761048337708ab93e6b8b284d926e5aec53bd7d074b8973920b91f3d4874 Payment Hash: b4db7a1b19961d115b39bfdf8a17de7459f121708265f2c2273d67287372a8fb Description Hash: r59andxz6kzyrxtwv76xw32q2prawep07ydyph96gleyt7nqj29q Expiration Time: 2592000 seconds Min Final CLTV Expiry: 19 Routing Info Public Key: 02e1dad4d396696cb207a524bdf595f1a2e6792d7b990f18cef1ebd1b557bb110f Short Channel Id: 0d67030009bc0000 Fee Base Msat: 0 Fee Proportional Millimonths: 2999 CLTV Expiry Delta: 34 Feature Bits: 000010000000100100000100000000 Signature R value: d4fd6e70ad921daf2aa31dce282cbdad7177d696f1ef87c4b043229e9325e4c1 S value: 4c10f860c8ec20dab8dfef12f8fd91fd2c0c9941a102ba89b6ced2605782e8c2 Recovery Flag: 0 Signing Data: 6c6e626331303534306e0d023ee2d00d03249d84120cddc22ae4f9ae2ca13649b96bb14ef5f41d2e25ce482e47cf521d0021a5a6dbd0d8ccb0e88ad9cdfefc50bef3a2cf890b84132f961139eb39439b9547d85c341d0bd9b4c2d58441996e67b46745405047d7642ff11a40dcba47f245fa60928a0300a278d00c003318a405c3b5a9a72cd2d9640f4a497beb2be345ccf25af7321e319de3d7a36aaf76221e1ace060013780000000000000000176e0044140608090400 Checksum: q7zqwk

Great info! The most interesting part to me is the routing info. The first hop in your path was a node whose pubkey is 02e1...110f. This belongs to a nostr user whose handle is UNITEDPLOW:

You even got his short channel id, which you can use to find your channel with him on the blockchain. Fortunately for me, onion routing (and recipient encryption) led you to a dead end! My money is not in his channel. He's just a routing node. You know *a* channel -- one you created (or a custodian created it, if you're using a custodian) -- just not the one with my money in it. The rest of your routing info doesn't tell you much about what happened next. Does UnitedPlow have a direct channel to me? Maybe! Did it go through five more hops? Maybe! Was he a trampoline node, a decoy this whole time? Maybe! You'll never know where the money ended up because lightning hides that info from the sender through multiple indecipherable layers of encryption. Unlike monero, which told me in plaintext. Lightning "receiver privacy" is simply designed better.
