i thought it was so you cant associate the ip with some wallet. like it was for tax reasons
or people show up and take the physical node or perform hammer attack
i live in texas and own my house its pretty easy to find where i live
Wrong approach.
You do not run a BTC LN node to "evade taxes"....
You run a node to FUCK THE GOV.
"evading" means you recognize them as lawful. That means you recognize and agree to be robbed. That means you agree to be a slave.
Rebutting them at all is totally another thing.
And now you will come with the old phrase "but if I do not pay taxes I go to jail...".
You go to jail because you weren't capable to rebut their authority over you the living man, and you acted like a shitizen, aka you are bonded to a contract and you violate that contract.
YOU CANNOT BE SOVEREIGN AND SHITIZEN! Is one or another.

but from the like privacy standpoint is there anything to worry about? I know chain analytics are a thing could you be watching what transactions were added to the mempool and associate ips with them? The same way people run tor nodes to get more visibility into the network I assume companies and governments are running nodes to watch the peers. Especially with a lightning node that is always on is it an added layer of safety. People at the bitcoin meetup i went to recently seemed to care about non-kyc vs kyc bitcoin. Does it matter?
