SLP276 Anthony Ronning - Bitcoin Lightning Privacy: FUD and Facts

Anthony Ronning, Bitcoin Lightning developer joins me on the show to talk about Bitcoin Lightning Privacy. We separate FUD from fact and give it a fair hearing to give you some insight into where the privacy leakages are today, how you can be more private, and where it’s all going in the future. We chat:

• Basic overview of LN
• Different user types and wallets
• Lightning nodes
• Receiver privacy
• Mitigations and future tech
• Practical tips for users today
