A wild XMR challenge approaches! Nostr user @Hanshan challenges me to identify the true sender of a monero transaction of his choice. I agree to the challenge and await his tx. I also offer him a counter-challenge when I'm done with his: pay an LN invoice of my choice and tell me the receiver pubkey and its total balance -- i.e. the same data I get by paying a monero address. What will happen? Find out on nostr!
> in what way is it "crackable"?

Sure, I'll do my best! I wrote a free and open source tool for this -- you can paste any monero tx and it will try to identify the true spend: https://github.com/supertestnet/examiner
It doesn't usually find it but sometimes it does. Give me a tx and I'll try it!
Then you do my challenge, OK? The one where you pay a lightning invoice of my choice and tell me (1) the recipient's pubkey (2) the total balance held by that pubkey -- i.e. the same info I can get by paying a monero address
For future reference, here is the invoice I'd like you to pay after I've completed your challenge:
