#PrivacyTechPro tip: Learn how to run your own node and use the #Lightning network more privately. You may not be as private as you think.
Remember that receiving payments on your own Lightning node is not as private as sending payments. It can reveal much. Lightning is awesome and still growing, but it is not very private as it currently stands.
I recommend that most people stack non-KYC #BTC and use cash or #Monero for mission critical private transactions by default, while #Lightning is still growing and until they learn how to run a Lightning node and use the Lightning Network more privately.
"Senders may jeopardize their privacy when sending payments if they’re not careful, but receivers are even more exposed. It all begins with the invoice, which has the receiver’s public key embedded in it. Everyone with access to an invoice can easily discover the associated node."
