Yea, I don't think the technical privacy differences of both coins played any role with the Samourai event, but the fallout of it is actually relevant (Samourai requires xpubs, centralized coordinators, etc)

Lightning being more private isnt even true theoretically, but more importantly it's not true in practice. 

 It seems like I need to learn more still, thanks for the comment 

 I'm still learning myself 

 you obviously never heard of keysend or AMP then 

 Forgive me for being suspicious but seems like even more vaporware...

What wallets currently support them? Is it widely used? Because I would like to mess around with it. And what is up with bolt 12?
