Could you tell me who Satoshi is?

Could you explain how you can track who paid you a Lightning Network invoice?

Have you ever written down a seed phrase or made a Bitcoin transaction on chain?



> Could you tell me who Satoshi is?

Nope, because he's been inactive for 14 years. ( 70% of all accounts are inactive anyways - https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/11/23/bitcoin-supply-i... )

> Lightning Network

You mean the SQLite database at third parties in some cases? Or the ones hosted at the cloud providers? https://watcher.guru/news/amazon-google-cloud-host-49-of-bit...

I'm not a government, in case you were wondering. I can't track the edge-cases. I don't have access to KYC

Fyi, noticed the mixing services going offline? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_Cash

If Bitcoin is so easy to track people why don't you find him?

> You mean the SQLite database at third parties in some cases?

Didn't answer my question, but you know you can run a lightning node at home, right?

> Links to an ETH project

What does that have to do with Bitcoin?
