Hop into a lightning channel and then back out in a different address. That should theoretically work to break these heuristic models right?
Exchanges are using software that assigns a threshold to each address' inputs or funds. You can easily trick the threshold.

- cliftonk 5y agoOutput of a lightning channel is almost certainly more likely to contain mixed coins. The UTXO model is hopelessly outdated.
- toolz 5y agoI strongly disagree, UTXO model will be necessary to scale smart contract platforms in the future as the account model will never hold up with the necessarily expensive sync operations it performs. UTXO model, or a derivative will win out when it comes to distributed blockchains that can scale way beyond current distributed blockchains capacity.
- toolz 5y agoWhat if every coin is mixed, eventually? You think exchanges will just shutdown their bitcoin trades and throw away their likely biggest revenue stream?
- matheusmoreira 5y agoExchanges are already prejudiced against "unhosted" wallets. I think they'll eventually stop accepting deposits from any source other than other well known exchanges.
- toolz 5y agoI've moved "unhosted" coins into at least 5 different exchanges at this point with zero issues.

- hamiltonians 5y agothose can be excluded easily
- kevinak 5y agoEven better: never leave The lightning network and you’ll never really have these issues
- sgp_ 5y agoLargely, no. While the full privacy implications of lightning network use are extremely complicated and still being researched (and the best practices updated with that information), it absolutely is not as simple as open/close channel, done.
