Oddbean new post about login | logout Good advice! I'm ready to keep stacking with a @PhoenixWallet channel with plenty of inbound capacity. Have been using @Boltz - Non-Custodial Bitcoin Bridge to swap to onchain amd regain inbound liquidity. Do you have any thoughts on the privacy aspects of that?

I love how the phoenix team gives disclaimers, and shows tradeoffs.
Fair and thanks for the response. So, if ACINQ turns evil, it can use the timing and amounts of the LN payments to Boltz to try to find the ultimate onchain addresses. Makes me wonder how good @Boltz - Non-Custodial Bitcoin Bridge is at managing their onchain footprint.
We know the chain origin and final lightning destination in Chain -> Lightning Swaps. We do *not* know the origin in Lightning -> Chain swaps but, the chain destination. We always know amounts. Publicly, privacy is not too bad with confidential transactions hiding asset and amounts on Liquid (but not tx graph), and with Taproot Swaps it's additionally pretty tough to tell that a tx was part of a swap. Will start a FAQ section in docs with this as we get this question a lot. Thanks for asking and pushing for transparency!
