electrs VS joinmarket-clientserver

There seems to be a Rust implementation of the server (electrs via https://github.com/romanz/electrs ). It was recommended as part of a Medium article on how to set up an Electrum server. So far it seems fine - but, what are your inputs on it?

romanz/electrs. This is a common choice for its low resource requirements, and most full-node distros use it. But while this implementation works great for basic queries, it will struggle with heavier ones (e.g. looking up addresses with many transactions)—especially when running on low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

Electrs v0.9.10 (Released: 3st November 2022) - https://github.com/romanz/electrs/releases

To gain some privacy by using Electrum you should set up Tor on Network preferences or by installing your own Electrum server via Electrum Personal Server, ElectrumX or Electrs.

Electrum can be connected to you full node if you also run this: https://github.com/romanz/electrs

Electrs: https://github.com/romanz/electrs (Instead of electrs you can also use "Electrum personal server" to connect Bitcoin core to Electrum).

LND v0.14.3 - Release page - Upgrade guide This release contains only a series of bug fixes, and doesn't introduce any backwards compatible changes (database migrations, etc) from the prior version. Notable fixes in this release include: a fix to an invoice registry related deadlock, a fix for an edge case when running the remote signer operating mode, and a fix to ensure that 3rd parties sweeping an anchor UTXO doesn't lead to the wallet having a fragmented internal UTXO state, and a fix for a payment state inconsistency (a payment looks like it was stuck though no HTLCs exist).Full release notes.

It's complicated. The more steps you take to obfuscate your transaction, the harder it will be for an adversary to track your coins. You can look into using something like the JoinMarket Wallet to keep your transaction more private.

You can use coinjoin services like joinmarket to anonymize your coins. You can also send them through a lightning swap.

This is a bitcoin service delivered in a low trust manner where the bitcoin user need only utilize software they run and control for the services and can protect themselves from malicious third parties with very little trust or consequence from peers. This is the gold standard of Bitcoin service. Examples include lightning routing, lightning liquidity marketplaces like pool, coinjoins like joinmarket, coinswaps, submarine swaps like loop and others.

If you want to play with OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, you can use the wallet in JoinMarket to create a fidelity bond. Be careful, though, because it's absolutely impossible to spend such a bond until its expiration.
