2025-01-17 19:47:10I fully expect blinded paths and BOLT12 to be the lightning standard across all implementations this year. This will vastly improve receive privacy over BOLT11. Phoenix already does this. As for on chain footprints, taproot is already proving to be great at obfuscating on chain events. And as for using probes and pinning to attempt to see how much liquidity are in channels, I think that may always exist HOWEVER that is not a big deal in my opinion. Lastly, there are hundreds of well connected routing nodes on the network, so big nodes don't seem scary to me. Further, you can always choose to avoid nodes when you make a payment if you want to. I will leave it there.
