You will see there the destination of your node. But that doesn't mean we can find you, your location or who you are. It could be very easily a private node.
Why the people say that an invoice can expose the utxo that founded the channel @DarthCoin?

If you open a public channel and also is not a simple taproot channel, then yes, anybody can see it in a LN nodes / mempool explorer.
Options to avoid that?
  • use STC (simple taproot channels)
  • buy channels from LSP (it can be full outbound or inbound, or mixed)
  • open channels with LSPs that offer on-the-fly channels (you open them by paying through LN)
  • use decoy LN nodes (private and public)
  • use decoy custodial LN accounts, also can be used to move in/out extra liquidity and fund new channels
I explained all these scenarios in many of my guides.

If I oppen a private channel with the blixt node... Then nobody knows that I have a private channel and my privacy is good for every scenario? I read your guides but I did not find this scenario.
reply
Blixt is a private LND node that supports STC. So yes, you have more privacy using it.
but I did not find this scenario.
I can't say everything in those guides because I do not want to make "others / bad guys" job too easy. Some parts you have to discover yourself.

Thank you very much.
