It's an option, for sure. The question is the privacy and costs that would have over the privacy and costs of CoinJoining.

As a rule of thumb anything over 10M sats will be cheaper to CoinJoin for the same level of anonymity (and the possibility of more, and measurable).

you are comparing ln costs to on chain costs
two different worlds

Exactly. Ones are proportional to the transaction amount and the others are fixed. Those lines intersect.

you will pay coinjoin on chain costs and then open a channel, on chain also, to make a ln transaction
please make it make sense

reply

Not necessarily. The case of buying p2p and sending to cold storage is a very common example.

you know there are also zero fee channels, but it's inconvenient to mention

The things you say make me think you don't know what you're talking about.

Your tone makes me think you are not eager to learn either.

I learned enough that I don't coinjoin, mix or whatever other unnecessary privacy theater there is

ah yes, moneroos, a special kind of retarded

Might be a good decision for your case and threat model. Doesn't mean it's the only "correct" way for all other cases.

you don't know what you're talking about.

just by mentioning the 0 fee channels and he demonstrate that he knows more than you...

If you use a single UTXO onchain to coinjoin, you cannot pass more sats than you have in that UTXO...
Meanwhile through a single LN channel you can coinjoin as many sats you want.
More than that, if you are smart you can make it to leave NO onchain trace..
Just think about, even if you are traced, a single UTXO of 1M sats that is in a public block, in fact it was transferring let's say 10 BTC through that single channel and nobody have any trace (except the channel peers - but that is another aspect).

Think in perspective. Mastering LN is an art of using all its properties and solutions.
