Are we so out of ideas we have to relive this nonsense again?

Haha the response to that comment is bang-on. There is no difference between messages and payments.

That response is incoherent. Messages needn't encumber an HTLC.

This is a renaissance of the putting pointless shit on the Blockchain mentality, only the LN edition.

Those things are not comparable in the slightest.

Careful anons, this is yet another way to link your identity to your stack

101 sats \ 9 replies \ @secondl1ght OP 13 Nov 2023

Cipherchat uses Lightning Node Connect which is used by many bitcoin apps including Zeus, Alby etc. It is not possible to link your identity to your node with LNC. Also the whole stack can be self-hosted. All of this is explained in the FAQ and Privacy page.

My guy, sharing your node pubkey (identity) to people so they can message you is bad opsec. Its like sharing your xpub.

If I know your pubkey, I can watch your channel opens and closes and make assumptions about your usage patterns.

Worst case, I can follow your channel txns back to your stack and create a list of addresses owned by you.

But 'tis a small price to pay for the ability to message you /s

Who's saying to share your pubkey with anyone you don't want to know it? Do you give your phone number to people you don't want to contact you... The fundamentals of privacy is sharing information with people you choose, that choice is up to you.

Yea, but my phone number doesn't reveal anything about my finances.

There is no technical reason why you need to reveal ANYTHING about your money in order to chat with someone. We're chatting right now!

no ETA yet - I want to see how much interest there is after the initial launch but it is on the roadmap for sure!
