my understanding is that although we call it "tor routing" unlike Tor, its not a random route its optimized. therefore possibly (probabilistically) predicable. and although routing nodes don't know the sender and recipient, they know the origin and destination. which is pertinent.

also maybe you already know about this, but looks like a great (custodial) tool for LN education

These folks here have made a really nice interface for interacting with LN. and its super cheap. It IS custodial (they hold the keys and responsibility for uptime etc) but you can manage a LN node and have full control over the channels and everything. and they DONT try and sanitize the experience. theres a lot of information there while remaining a nice UI. A privacy conscious person could spin up a node when they need, open channels and move funds in ten minutes. *then delete the node* their profit model is selling uptime. so its *almost free to have a simple node, but a few thousand sats per month if you want it online 24/7. ๐Ÿค” View quoted note โ†’
