A privacy focused Lightning Network (called ZK channels or Bolt) #43

I care a lot about the issue of privacy and resistance to censorship both because of recent events and because we don't know (today) what kind of government we will have in the future.
So the question is, if your government became oppressive, how would you preserve your financial freedom?

The Pirate Chain protocol of course already deals with privacy but here we have the possibility of making payments instantaneous without losing anything in terms of security and anonymity.

A first answer to this is the ZeeKoe (zero knowledge) protocol advocated by Bolt Labs.

It is basically a Lightning Network (L2) with some variations to improve privacy.

According to its developers it can be applied to all those Bitcoin-like blockchains (bitcoin, litecoin, zcash, etc.).
