I didn't know about the mempool.space one but it's really trivial to detect. Wrote about it almost two years ago at https://abytesjourney.com/lightning-privacy/

Also don't forget about the recent amboss surveillance project, which they said they would walk back but continue to grossly collect. https://ambosstech.medium.com/lightning-balance-sharing-and-network-statistics-32e687a4db25

Unfortunately I feel like the incentives are for unprofitable nodes (which I'd wager is most) to give up their data (which mostly comprises of OTHER people's data) for money or additional services.

There's still so much to improve for lightning to be more private so still bullish, but it is pretty bad at a mass scale currently. Check out on going research at https://lightningprivacy.com

A reminder for all stackers (I wish we had that SN feature with "remindme"):

I am raising here a warning, due to latest psyops (so called wars) and other factors that went under the radar. Is always the same scenario of "make huge noise on something to attract people's attention, but quietly prepare something more evil that normally they wouldn't accept it".

Soon, it will come that day when you will be stuck in your nice cozy NY appartment or whatever big city and you cannot get the fuck out without a permit linked to a CBDC wallet. And is coming faster than you think. Don't sleep on the presumtion that Bitcoin will be adopted before CBDCs... don't lie yourself. We are far away from bitcoin adoption. And before that, CHAOS will be first.

My advice is the following:

• start ditching fiat ASAP, all of it
• start building your own bitcoin community around you, near by. THIS is the most important thing!
• start building a small circular economy between, food growers, services.
• start educating your neighbbors about bitcoin
• move away from big cities, change your job if that is necessary
• if you can, start building your own homesteading place, slowly be as much as you can self-suficient in terms of food and basics. Learn more about plants, growing, tooling, repairing. Learn to have more skills, basic skills.
• start living a simple life, not complicate it. Life is simple bbut people usually complicate it with unnecessary things.
• these bitcoin communities will be the only way that will keep you alive and well. Bitcoin will be your "underground" money for a while. Be prepared.

Example, check this. https://farmfoodmap.org/ - nearby independent farmers, growers, farm shops (some of them already take btc). Expand these type of maps with Bitcoin, like https://btcmap.org

Relax, don't get involved in any conflicts outside of your "place". Is not your damn business. Just watch and laugh. Let them kill each others until nobody remains. Is their choice not yours.

I know that for some this sounds very cynical, but is the truth and truth always hurts when is told right in your face.

Don't let your emotions to conquer you. It's all a psyop around you, that feeds from your FEAR. They want your fear but you interpret it as "empathy". Totally wrong. It's the fear inside you that tells you "OMG what if they came after me?" so you retreat in some kind of empathy with one side or another and you have that desire to "help" them.

Don't do it. Is exactly what they want from you: to take sides and "help" but in fact they want you to be involved in their psyop.

Don't be afraid that some gov will shut down the internet. That will be your ultimate freedom and they do not want that. Yes, it could be a scenario where they will request a CBDC ID to be able to connect to internet. That is a real scenario and is dangerous.

That's why is good to start those communities and connect each others, with LoRA, closed networks etc and then at somne point find a door to connect to the rest of the world. Solutions exist today to do that. Read and learn.

*Some were laughing at my citadel calling it a bunker... my reply was: my citadel is my plan A, Bitcoin is my plan B. Few really understand

that answer. I will be the one that will laugh in the end...*

STOP feeding the beast. How?

• stop using their evil fiat money
• stop supporting any politician, party, side, movement or whatever shit psyop
• stop being a shitizen. Citizens do not have rights, only privileges, stop being that slave
• stop paying taxes, are a fucking lie

You will remember my warning. Call me crazy lunatic, call me whatever you want, I don't fucking care, I just watch and laugh. Because I know I am right.

Excellent idea, Bitcoin Community is real asset.

I used to zap 21sats, then 50.

I think I've found a nice balance with 101sats. Every day my SN stack goes down a little until I get a comment or post that brings it back up.

1k is amazing when you're on the receiving end. If I were to bring it up to that level I think I'd be thinking about it too much. Does this post REALLY deserve this many sats?

Read the readme of the repo. It’s literally 2 steps to get started:

1. Clone repo and cd to it
2. run ./sndev start
