Have we seen any agency capturing criminals using the lightning network yet?

Have you seen any criminals using the lightning network?

reply

I'm sure there are plenty.

reply

Then I'm sure you can show me where I can buy weed online with lightning

Because I can show you plenty of places where you can do that with monero

Or why are you so sure?

reply

I can't but I don't see why a DN site couldn't have LN as an option. Maybe monero has the privacy network effects as of now.

How would the police catch someone from a LN invoice? Would they control a bunch of nodes and hope that the bad guy routes through them?

reply

Receiver privacy in lightning is a disaster my dude.

How so?

You are doxing your node and from there your channels / utxos.

I have not. So it must be really private.
