@romanornr :

please consider following Coindesk article which shows an approach REGARDING LIGHTNING SCALING->as Lightning is an Item in your roadmap:  www.coindesk.com/lightning-scaling-bitcoin-might-require-whole-nother-layer

It's a highly interesting proposition ("...utilizes so-called "hook transactions" to move funds into a multi-party channel capable of supporting more than just two users...") without any relevant bottlenecks when implemented, as I understand.  Would you please work on this stuff later, if your team has the skills!? And the Schnorr signatures would also be awesome!  thx  for your great work so far!

-------------------------------------

1) HI there, can anyone please explain shortly how VIA's Styx/Anon privacy solution is comparing with other established ones like abovementioned -> regarding both

- a) achieving actual privacy/anonymity and

- b) making identification or tracing infeasible)?

2) Is there any flaw within Styx or any sophisticated way to analytically unmask real addresses behind transactions?

3) And any timeline when Styx will actually be implemented? For several months there is no progress in the official roadmap relating Styx.

4) And can Styx' solution be sort of "plugged into" and be used by other blockchains, providing for example also ethereum or bitcoin "privacy as a service"?

thx
