127 sats \ 14 replies \ @ek OP 1 Sep \ parent \ on: Is a lightning address more private than a lightning invoice? lightning

Oh, yeah, I could recommend @delete, too! I'd only considered PGP encryption support in an update. From @ccbank's bio:

Future versions might use PGP for encryption to hide the recipient's node pubkey in the lightning invoice. Only the payment hash and amount need to be public for payment verification.

@delete would def mess with payment verification, but I'm not sure how important that really is. It's still trust-me-bro on every trade.

If either Goog finally pushes xwing into SubtleCrypto as they said they would months ago, or Apple stops dicking around with restricting custom calls on Webauthn, there will be a path to having private messaging in the browser despite people yoloing plugins.

Until then, there's only "private" messaging, aka leaky shit, or a massive capture-now-decrypt-later gap.

Edit to your edit: why do you need PUBLIC payment verification?

The idea was reputation but not sure it’s necessary

I don't think there is a transparent way to truly account the fulfillment side due to LN sender privacy anyway, so it's always going to have some trustmebro.

What's more interesting to me is: whatcha gonna do with all them CCs stuck in a bot account? Even if you save up to 3M, transfer territory, pay the forever bill, transfer back, that's a one-time thing.

Treasury is capped at 100k credits for now. I just want to buy CCs cheaply for territory rent. I don’t want to pay the forever bill.

right so your demand is basically 50k/mo

Plus any demand from other founders who want to pay their bill cheaper, too.

The amount of trust involved (transferring territory to @ccbank and trusting it to transfer it back after payment) sucks. Maybe I’ll find some way to reduce the trust required with DLCs and an independent oracle (you’ll get paid on-chain if the bank doesn’t give you the territory back), but idk. That’s future stuff haha.

It’s an interesting problem though.

I still think that brokering p2p is better than banking in this (as it is in everything else) where you just match supply with demand without middlemen.

I'm interested in that: #1559936 and #1559963

I want to have a liquid market, not be a middleman.
