 I bet you a bitcoin if I make a payment to you and you find out who I am, in the same way if you make a payment to me you have to find out where that payment goes to the chain (here I will use something else besides lightning).

 @DarthCoin will be the treasurer, come on? 
 only if you send me back 2 BTC 😃  
 😂 
 how about you respond to the points voltage makes in the blog post? 
 sad.

you dont know shit about privacy if your attitude is
"it's private if a random person on the Internet can't find the destination"

clearly an Anonymous PFP doesnt make anyone a cypherpunk. 
 Cope harder. You couldn’t trace the payment and neither could anyone else. 

You can’t even explain how it would be done let alone do it. You don’t know shit about the LN. Maybe just don’t comment on shit your clueless on?

You’re just dug in cuz your Monero shitcoin is obsolete.  
 Bingo 🎯 
 Maybe I’m wrong to completely trust @Cyph3rp9nk but hey: I’m going with whatever you say to be true. 😂🫡🙏 
 I'm not asking you to tell me who I am, I'm just asking you to tell me from which node the payment comes from and to which address or chain the receiving payment ends up... 🙃 
 I’d rather just have my V for Vendetta party. 🎉 😂🤦🏻‍♀️😭😉

But FINE!!! If you must make me do it your way, we will see what happens.  
 Probably ok if you just wwant to avoid dragnet surveillance.

definitely NOT OK if you have a sophisticated threat model.

not that these guys care about the difference... smh 
 this isn't hard moron. its been an acknowledged issue for years.

here's Calle talking about it last year.

 I’m not listening to a two hour podcast from some fag wearing a gator who does not give a fuck about privacy at all.

State in three sentences the attack vector or stfu. If you use lightning correctly it is superb privacy.  
 LOL

when you are losing, the "find out who I am on the internet" never fails

 How you Monero boys are, I'm offering you 1 bitcoins if you track my payments but you don't want to and the culprit is me 😂. 
 I will give you le 21 million bitcoins if you find out my home address from my youtube channel !!! checkmate, google apps = privacy !!! 
 This can’t end with me competing against multiple Evey’s on who gets to launch you. Maybe 🤔 

Cause you’re coming out with all the fire 🔥 right now. What happened to peaceful revolution? If I can’t be president I think 🧐 

Got it … must think more & learn more. Damn it again. You’re always right. FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️

 lose the Guy Fawkes mask until you're older 
 ❤️ 
 personal opinion

if you think these are the criteria to make a system private,
you need to lose the Guy Fawkes mask.

 Anonymity (identity) is different from privacy (actions and contents). Perhaps we won't know who you are right now, but we can clearly see balances and transactions on chain. We can also follow them going into the future (do you coinjoin before and after every single transaction? or do you trust every single person you transact with?). Even experts make mistakes.

It's not just about random anons like us either. Actors with more resource (governments, corporations, exchanges, and chainalysis) can do even more with it like inferring who you might be by using that data (amounts, addresses, timing, etc). The longer you use Bitcoin the more data you leave on chain and ever increasing chance of mistakes.
