> He's wrong about unencrypted receiver (or meant something else)
I meant what I said: monero does not encrypt the receiver. If it did, monero devs could tell me what encryption standard they use (in lightning, we use the Sphinx encryption standard specified in bolt4) and they could point me to the code where the recipient's key gets encrypted (in lightning, that code is here: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/b068d79dfbd2f583d890fd605953d0d4fb897a27/htlcswitch/hop/iterator.go#L114)
Monero does not encrypt the recipient's public key -- it gets published in plaintext on the blockchain -- so the protocol does not specify any encryption standard for that and there is nothing in the codebase where it gets encrypted.
