Same but with Monero. I don't need my friends, neighbors, $5 wrench attackers, and governments knowing how much money I have. And neither should you.

There's an add-on for Bitcoin called the "Lightning Network" that adds onion routing like Tor.

Yes, but it does not work well. You constantly get failing payments due to inadequate channel liquidity unless you're using a large centralized wallet provider and using a large centralized wallet provider defeats the purpose of peer to peer digital cash that's uncensorable.

I've been using the Electrum wallet for years now with no issues.

@explodicle @shortwavesurfer as someone that is using it profissionaly, we dont have route for payments more times than I would like to admit...

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Electrum or a different wallet?

[–] MalMen@masto.pt 0 points 3 days ago (2 children)

@explodicle yes, we where using electrum... LN has a routing problem.. You neednto open channels with the major players and se of them charge for it

What's the website for your business? I'm having trouble replicating being unable to route a payment, and want to try buying something from you.

Maybe that's what I've been doing, I've been picking "trampoline" and it seems to just work.
