A lesson to those who still think there are no 'dirty' UTXOs.

How can you check or see how clean or dirty is an Utxo?

If they are dirty UTXOs, this mean UTXOs or SATS are not fungibles...

reply

@BitOK_AML_bot in Telegram and similar chainalysis tools. If you have coins that are stolen or passed through a mixer any regulated entity will freeze them. So no, UTXOs are not fungible.

reply

What if after passing through a mixer they have gone through a dozen of Lightning hops?

reply

An UTXO can be used to open a channel. When you pass all the sats to the other side and close that channel, your peer will receive your headache. So it is dangerous as a node runner to accept channels from strangers, let alone private ones.

reply

What if the ”dirty” UTXOs get deposited into e.g. Phoenix wallet and the node runner has a channel open with ACINQ?

I don’t think ACINQ freezes coins?

reply

Sooner or later, all big nodes will stop accepting channels from random people. Binance and Bitfinex already do so.

reply

Binance and Bitfinex just don’t like opening channels with low liquidity randos. And liquidity is for sale.

And even if they reject my channel, they can still forward my payment if there’s a path.

reply

This is bullshit. I want privacy. I am not a criminal because I want privacy. I don't want to clean my UTXOs as if I was a moneylaunderer

For privacy we already have the zeecash project from tel aviv university, didn’t you hear
