| <p>Your decoy, your plausible deniability, your public face, your cache / buffer zone stash. Let’s be honest, how many sats you will receive in one day for example that would be such a problem to be custodial? If you depend on those sats received from some meaningless donations or tips on NOSTR, then you are … short Bitcoin.</p> | ||
| <p>If you receive large amounts, then withdraw to your private wallets each day. No big deal. Think about these public custodial (especially those that are NON-KYC) as a good opsec, hiding your real destination of those sats. You could move the sats through many different LN wallets from there ending up into a swap LN to onchain to your HODL wallet and NOBODY will ever know where your nostr tips went.</p> | ||
| <p>Use multiple ones. Never concentrate everything in one place, never count only on one address. Use multiple ones, for many different types of income. I think I use 7 or 8 public custodial, some with more traffic, some I keep them as backup, some just for fun, testing etc. I periodically move out the funds from them. And is fine.</p> | ||
| <p>Remember: always use the <a href="https://darth-coin.github.io/beginner/be-your-own-bank-en.html">3 levels stashing</a>: HODL, cache, spending.</p> | ||

| <p>Self-custodial are the private ones.</p> | ||
| <p>You can even use the private ones to forward the funds from public ones. Some solutions like LNbits already have extensions that forward and split automatically any payment received to a LN Address. I also use decoy private ones when I do the, so the custodian will not make a tracing based on destination. Be inventive here.</p> | ||
| <p>Also the private ones, use multiple ones, each for a use case or place where you publish them.</p> | ||

| <li>Bridge mode: Blixt server will handle all the requests for the LN Address [email protected], will hold the sats until user’s Blixt node come online and then will forward the sats to it. Will be just a small period of time in custody.</li> | ||
| <li>Self-custody: Blixt users could install the LN Box on their own servers and handle their own domain, then forward the sats to their own Blixt mobile nodes. This option is very interesting, if you run this LN Box for your family and friends and they want to use your domain name for their LN Address (see point B above). Later could even be run with multiple domain names as a service.</li> | ||

| <p>Another special use case is using LNbits as LNDHUB and LNURL server provider. Again, could be used in multiple ways: self-custodial and custodial or forwarder.</p> | ||
| <p>a. Custodial / forwarder mode</p> | ||
| <p>Remember this should be used only as a temporary solution or as a forwarder (decoy) in case you do not want to use your own domain name and node. The public demo LNbits server could be anytime in maintenance mode, being just a demonstration server. But for small payments and temporary ones is OK.</p> | ||
