STN makes good points about LNs privacy
and good points about Moneros weaknesses.
but he completely REFUSES to ever acknowledge the UX problems in achieving *comparable privacy guarantees* with LN.

> he complete REFUSES to ever acknowledge the UX problems
I acknowledge that UX problems exist in LN. I deny that similar problems are absent from monero.
Per the monero website, here are some UX problems with monero:
- Users shouldn't reuse a monero *address*
- Users shouldn't even reuse a monero *wallet* (i.e. you should delete your wallet after each use and make an entirely new *wallet* for the next use, according to the monero website)
- Users should run a monero node, not a phone wallet
The website doesn't say the following thing, but users should also use tor/i2p/vpns if they use a monero *node,* but it's needlessly difficult to do so because many important people in the project basically disagree with that. The monero github even says in its readme "Monero isn't made to integrate with Tor" and discusses the hoops users need to jump through to get it to work with tor. It's got serious UX problems and most monero influencers just don't want to admit that because the phone wallets are easy -- and the monero website recommends not to use those!
