Good article about the (non) privacy of Lightning. It mentions how ecash can be a private payment layer on top. #Nostr #Safebox does exactly this - all payments between #safebox addresses are negotiated as ecash, even though they look like Lightning payments. The payments don’t touch Lightning at all.
