pLN Makes Bitcoin Lightning More Private

“Citadel Dispatch” episode 70, “Using Lightning Privately With Tony And FuturePaul“:

Tony:
“There’s a fine line between educating and being doom and gloom. People need to be educated that it’s not perfect and there’s a lot of holes in Lightning privacy and Bitcoin privacy as well. It’s not a lost cause. I like to tow the line between breaking privacy and fixing privacy. Breaking privacy to educate people that it is kind of broken and you need to be careful. But then also trying to educate and make it better at the same time. The reason I do this is so we can get privacy to be better.”
Matt:
“To fix problems you need to be aware of problems first.”

pLN is a new wallet project that Tony and futurepaul are working on that aims to make it easy for users to follow the “happy path” of making payments privately on the Lightning Network.
