"Both Monero and Tor use Ed25519 elliptic curve cryptography. A Monero public spend key is mathematically identical to a Tor onion service public key. This means anyone can compute a deterministic Tor onion address directly from any Monero address.
Each MoneroDM instance runs a Tor onion service computed from the wallet's Monero spend/view keypairs. To send a message, MoneroDM computes the public onion address of the peer from the given Monero address."

Lightning privacy is too convoluted for most users. Most they can hope for is traditional bank level privacy (bank sees everything, public cannot). It's pretty good if you know what you're doing though.

Anything we use criminals are going to use. Can't stop that with anything in life especially in open and permissionless systems (which is itself a defense for everyday people against even more powerful criminals). Overwhelming majority are normal users though.

Yea admittedly the UX for this stuff isn't quite there yet if you're used to exchanges. Trocador might be the easiest, quickest, and cheapest to use among these, but you're trusting a single swap provider not to freeze your funds during the swap (although they rate the chance of that happening for each swap provider). Eigen is probably the most trustless method followed by bisq/retoswap/robosats (because it's a multisig so you're relying on cooperation from arbitrators if something happens). Never had a problem with any of them myself though.
Here is the latest news about Thorchain adding XMR from a few days ago. Basically they're hoping to get it out sometime in 2026 but it's privacy properties and multisig makes it a little more complicated than other blockchains to implement:

I don't think it's a question of understanding. It's now normie because its in the awareness of the masses. Normies know what Bitcoin is more than ever even if it's just in a vague way and might even have some on an exchange. If you mentioned any other cryptocurrency they likely would have no clue what it was.
That doesn't mean all Bitcoiners are normies though.

Fiat to XMR:
-Retoswap (Haveno)
-XMRBazaar
Crypto to XMR:
-Trocador (Almost any crypto to XMR. Simple to use swap aggregator)
-Bisq (BTC to XMR. Simple enough but you migh have to wait for someone to take your offer if you don't like any of the current rates)
-Retoswap (Crypto to XMR. Same as above)
-Robosats (Lightning to XMR. Same as above)
-EigenWallet (BTC atomic swaps. Simple to use. Fees aren't the cheapest, but also not crazy either)
All are no KYC.
Thorchain and SeraiDEX are also on the horizon for easy to use crypto to XMR swaps just something to keep in mind for the future.

Probably timing and amount analysis
Pretty trivial for anyone monitoring the chain if they see for example 1.52334 BTC move once then shortly after another address moves the exact same amount minus fees. High likelihood it's the same user. There was a recent example of this with a Zcash whale moving from transparent address to shielded and back.
You can use Monero to break links, but it takes a bit more consideration than a simple swap back and forth (break into different amounts on the swap back, swap at different times, different IP addresses or Tor, etc)

It's a side effect of PoW which is probabilistic thats why you have to wait for confirmations. They can happen unintentionally. You don't need a majority of hash power for a reorg to happen either. Though the more hash power an entity has the more likely it happens.

The sender knowing the one-time stealth address that *they generated* and *the amount they are sending* is hardly a "leak".
It's like saying cash isn't private because you as the payer know how much you paid and what envelope you placed the cash in. No third parties are privy to any of that information. Counterparty also doesn't know your balance or what ends up happening with that money after they paid it.
The sender privacy part seems like the major one here that is a fair criticism. But it's a difference in magnitude/probability not a deterministic "leak". Ring signatures are mathmatically ZK within their ringsize (that could be 3, or 100,000,000+, or any arbitrarily large size). FCMP is mathematically ZK with every output on-chain.

Dude you're all over the place. There are many examples not just Shopinbit. I'm simply saying Monero competes with Bitcoin/Lightning at nearly any merchant that offers both as a payment method despite being SO MUCH smaller and difficult to get. It doesn't conflict with anything you're saying if you believe in Greshams law.

That has always been my contention with the way Super presents Lightning.
He starts with the best case scenario when in reality 99% of LN users are on things like Wallet of Satoshi that can see every transaction they make
The bar to achieve comparable privacy on Lightning is higher than Monero. The average user doesn't have to jump through those extra hoops and points of friction to reach it.
That being said Super has made me appreciate the advantages Lightning *can* offer and ways to use it more privately through our conversations. And he does have some valid criticisms of Monero.

Privacy is a prerequisite for freedom money. The easier it is to transact privately the more freedom money users there will be.

Such a misleading blanket statement. Offchain doesn't automatically make it more private.
The vast majority of lightning users are using exchanges and things like Wallet of Satoshi and Strike that are "offchain". They can see your balance and every transaction you make.

Subaddresses are deterministically generated, but have a massive space of 2^96 possible subaddresses per private key (virtually endless for all practical purposes). I could be wrong but I think you could technically choose a random range where the index would start. It would basically be impossible to find your transactions for an adversary even if they somehow got ahold of your private keys. I don't know any wallet that has this option built-in and not sure how practical it would be since you would have to save that index range somewhere along with your private keys. I think wallets should provide users an accessible way to do this though if they wanted to.
MW is great. There are no addresses on the blockchain, period, not even stealth addresses. I like Grin and LTCMWEB, and Beam is doing some cool things. But you already described the problem that an active malicious node could simply save that info in the mempool to put together a transaction graph. It would only be able to see from that point forward, but it is pretty weak privacy as far as hiding transaction graphs go.

Four of the UX hurdles you mentioned for Monero are either misleading (IP leaks - a network level privacy issue that applies to anything using the internet including Lightning), a stretch (claiming "many" monero wallets share viewkeys - vast majority do not), and optional (address reuse and contact lists - every wallet I know of lets you label addresses and automatically cycles through subaddresses to prevent address reuse)

Agree that anonymity was part of the appeal
I'm not a Satoshi worshipper, but if someone thinks simply because Satoshi wanted something a certain way or said something that we have to heed his word without question (as if he is infallible or didn't make mistakes even with Bitcoin), there are many examples of Satoshi making mistakes and suggesting otherwise. For example the whole "If a solution was found, a much better, easier, more convenient implementation of Bitcoin would be possible." when describing technology that Monero adopted.
It's also undeniable that there were many major cypherpunk figures that created the concepts, research, and tech necessary for Bitcoin to exist in the first place, that emphasized the importance of privacy and untraceability in their papers/books including Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Timothy May, David Chaum, Ralph Merkle, Wei Dai, etc

You're esentially saying when you pay someone you "traced" it to the person you paid (no shit, what a revelation).
No, read the actual thread. He came up with a challenge separate from our original discussion. I never denied anything in his challenge about Lightning and Monero. It says right there in your screenshots.
Second, on the transaction level with Lightning, you're relying on third parties not colluding to maintain your privacy. Nodes on Lightning can see amounts going through them. Nodes on Monero can't see amounts even when using someone elses node and even if they colluded. Lightning nodes in a transaction are directly linked and know the hop before and after. Monero stealth addresses are unlinkable to other addresses. Technically, if Lightning nodes on your path collude they'll know with 100% accuracy both the amount and public node it went to.
The privacy he's describing gets even worse in the real world since most LN users are on non-private custodial wallets and LSPs (Compare custodial LN wallet downloads and the largest LSPs). Centralized honeypots of information that can see most of the network and directly reduces your privacy even if you're using it LN correctly.

You can't tell me the total balance in my wallet or the final destination either (same challenge you gave me for your Lightning invoice)

Há muitos lugares para negociar Monero e Bitcoin sem muito estresse. Ele não tem a estabilidade de preço que a Liquid oferece, mas isso pode ser tão prejudicial quanto benéfico para você nesses curtos períodos de tempo, como você disse acima.
>"Você diria que o Lightning BTC também é outro token? Porque a mesma coisa que garante a paridade L-BTC garante a paridade do BTC Lightning: a transação OnChain bloqueada na camada 1."
Não, eu não diria que o Lightning é outro token porque é literalmente Bitcoin bloqueado em uma assinatura múltipla. Você não precisa de permissão para sacar seu Bitcoin. Para a Liquid, você precisa de permissão da federação. A Liquid não oferece o mesmo nível de segurança criptográfica porque a federação pode conspirar para roubar o Bitcoin que lastreia cada token da Liquid — tudo o que eles precisam fazer é concordar. Com a Lightning e a Monero, isso não é possível.
Você está certo de que as atualizações da Lightning são, em sua maioria, compatíveis com versões anteriores, mas não concordo que compatibilidade com versões anteriores seja necessariamente sinônimo de segurança. Versões mais antigas do software Lightning estão repletas de vulnerabilidades de segurança e bugs, permitindo até mesmo o roubo de fundos com "ataques de ciclo de substituição" e similares. O objetivo da atualização é corrigir esses problemas de segurança primeiro.
Acho que nossa conversa vai continuar. Então, talvez devêssemos parar com "Concordo em algumas coisas, discordo em outras".

Not sure but there is a proposal to encrypt communication between nodes with Cuprate (to hide the fact that you are running a Monero node at all from your ISP), but latest update was from 2023. Not sure if current Cuprate implementation actually has this. I need to look into it more:

Você literalmente tem que trocar ou entrar em uma rede diferente com tudo que você listou lol
Se um fornecedor aceita apenas on-chain, não posso pagar com Lightning. Se um fornecedor aceita apenas Lightning, não posso pagar com Liquid.
Na prática, cada uma delas é uma moeda diferente

Tudo o que você listou tem suas próprias desvantagens exclusivas
Coinjoins são vulneráveis à análise de quantias e endereços são visíveis (quantidades e endereços são realmente escondidos no Monero, não meramente ofuscados)
A rede Lightning é complexa de usar com privacidade forte e tem privacidade fraca do receptor. A maioria acaba usando carteiras de custódia por causa disso.
A Liquid esconde apenas quantias, não remetente ou destinatário. A Monero esconde ambos e tem um conjunto de anonimato muito maior. Quase ninguém usa Liquid, então sua multidão para se esconder é muito menor.

I've been using RetoSwap since it came out earlier last year and have had no problems. But it still seems like good points you bring up.
Any ideas on what could improve Haveno in this regard?
What would you say are some downsides of using OpenMonero vs Haveno?
I'm open to using OpenMonero, but seems very new. I just think you guys need more time to build trust and reputation with the community at large. It seems like you guys are also a similar model to LocalMonero so have the same centralized point of failure(which I hoped we could get away from). Maybe the only difference being you're operating somewhat anonymously?(true?)

Many Monero bros ARE Bitcoiners.
We just see Bitcoin is missing strong fungibility and the targeted censorship resistance that privacy brings. Many high profile Bitcoiners have been harping on this forever.

Custodial Lightning doesn't scale Bitcoin. If that was true any crypto could claim it scales via IOUs.

Bitcoin can have a fixed supply, or a greater assurance of future mining security, but not both. Gambling that transactions fees alone will pay miners enough to secure the blockchain is a non-trivial risk. Might work, might not.

That sounds like an even better plan to me.
It would probably be a good idea to do a few churns at random times (@npub1z9j…w0vx churning = sending to yourself) before going back to BTC. I always forget to say that part.

Anything I've ever read or listened to go over basics of privacy on Lightning always recommends CJing before opening channels. And presumably if you're running your own LN node, the most private way to use Lightning, you would be doing that.
I feel like all this is moot though because thats not how the vast majority use it they're all on custodians like WoS that see everything.
The view key thing already assumes you're protecting those keys the same way you would protect your xpubs or private keys for Bitcoin/Lightning. Unless you think that applies to those as well for any wallet and crypto?
What popular wallets are leaking view keys?
The most popular wallets are all non-custodial and your wallet syncs the chain (Cake, Monerujo, Stack, Feather, CLI/GUI, etc)
Even if using someone elses node they can't see your view keys so no clue what you're talking about

If on-chain data is useless why are best practices before opening and after closing channels to coinjoin? Although better than purely transacting on Bitcoins blockchain, that is an obvious drawback of building a privacy layer on a transparent blockchain. That's one of it's weak links. For best possible privacy you would build a privacy L2 on an encrypted blockchain.
Not sure what you're implying with the view keys thing

Isso não quer dizer que os ASICs não tenham suas próprias vantagens. Mas a mineração de CPU tem vantagens diferentes em relação aos ASICs. Estes são vários:
É mais acessível a mais pessoas, já que a maioria já tem computadores e smartphones
Ela oferece negação plausível porque você pode estar usando uma CPU para qualquer coisa
É mais discreta, pois emite muito menos calor e ruído e consome menos energia

You're comparing on-chain vs L2. Lightning is built on a transparent blockchain so still leaks data even if you do everything perfect.
Also, since most lightning users are custodial, they might be private to the general public, but they are naively surveillable by the custodians and any government that forces them to record that information and could do it covertly with a gag order. Basically the same trade-off as a VPN. You're just shifting who can invade your privacy for most Lightning users.
When Monero upgrades to FCMP I'm curious would you use it? Also would you use Monero when it has an L2? Since both things would alleviate your problems with it in regards to private transactions.

Что вы имеете в виду, когда говорите, что отслеживание займет больше времени?
Monero намного проще в плане пользовательского опыта и более надежен в плане функций конфиденциальности по сравнению с Bitcoin. Например, он устраняет целые категории отслеживания, которые могут использоваться в Bitcoin, такие как анализ сумм или кластеризация адресов, поскольку они не видны в его блокчейне.
С предстоящим обновлением FCMP любые скудные средства, оставшиеся для получения некоторой информации, будут полностью устранены.
