Hi, I'm so sorry for my newbie questions and for reviving this discussion, I just found that this post matches very well with my doubts. I have reading a lot about the LN and I'm also interested in using it as an alternative to get non-kyc btc.

I have some sats in binance and, in my case, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts about this setup and questions below:

binance > (on-chain) > phoenix > (LN) > breez (LN) > fixedfloat (on-chain) > Blockstream Green > (on-chain) HW

my doubts about the above method: 1- is it really necessary to use on-chain to transfer from binance to phoenix? should I use the LN option already offered by binance? (I'm afraid that, somehow, using LN from binance will give them more control over my future transactions).

2- I guess that, if I move on-chain from binance to phoenix, the initial fund required by phoenix to open a channel would be subtracted from this transfer. But, if it's better to use the LN option from binance, I would fund phoenix's channel creation with an external transfer from a non-kyc wallet and non-kyc bitcoin I have. Could this action "compromise" my non-kyc wallet/bitcoin because technically I would "mix" non-kyc with kyc bitcoin? The same could apply to breez, since I would need to fund it with my non-kyc bitcoin (although I don't know if the LN transferred to breez [in my above example] will be already non-kyc enough. I included breez in the equation in case another hop is useful here).

3- Once fixedfloat finishes to exchange breez's LN and I get on-chain bitcoin in Green, should I have peace of mind? Moving that bitcoin to a HW is not an immediate necessity, I just included it in the equation in case I want to do that. If Green will be a safe place for that btc, I just plan to hodl, but if someday I want to spend some of these funds, I would use Green's LN function to do a LN transfer to a completely different LN wallet (e.g. WoS, or a 2nd breez in my 2nd phone), and spend from there.

4-I don't have a super large sum of bitcoin on binance, but my moving plan would include at least 3 transfers: a 1st small one (~20 usd), just to check if the system works fine; a 2nd with half of my btc and a 3rd one with the other half (with a few days of spacing between transfers from the CEX, and several hours of spacing for the on-chain-LN-LN-on-chain route). Is it reasonable?

Please note that, even if the result of this process is getting a non-kyc bitcoin, I'm paranoid enough to consider these funds "non-kyc-ish", so that's why right now I have an external non-kyc mobile wallet (the one mentioned in [2]), always funded through P2P via DEX, and I never want to mix these bitcoin (my "official" non-kyc btc) with the ones coming from binance. I plan to use a HW for the non-kyc in the future, so, in the long run, I expect to have a HW for my non-kyc, and Green for my "non-kyc-ish" (or, if deemed necessary, a 2nd HW).

Thank you very much in advance :)
