I'd be surprised if Bitcoin transaction analysis played in a huge role in takedowns though. Could that help locate the servers?

@alan8325 If they screwed up, sure. Monero is certainly easier to use privately than on-chain Bitcoin, as reasonable privacy happens by default without any extra effort.

@pete Why do you think we haven't seen LN usage on the DNMs yet?

@alan8325 Complexity probably. More work than Monero. Also, the typical transaction size (in terms of BTC) might be high enough that they're not sure that they'd be able to reliably keep sufficient channel capacity.

@pete Providing incoming liquidity to what you suspect *might* be a DNM node would be a spicy fee source.
