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.
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?
Sooner or later, all big nodes will stop accepting channels from random people. Binance and Bitfinex already do so.
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.
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
What if after passing through a mixer they have gone through a dozen of Lightning hops?
