Great info! The most interesting part to me is the routing info. The first hop in your path was a node whose pubkey is 02e1...110f. This belongs to a nostr user whose handle is UNITEDPLOW: https://njump.me/npub17y4ykazexey6mhyk33lxapycpfsmcwxpwjfw8cxw739g2r5c39hsrmudwx
You even got his short channel id, which you can use to find your channel with him on the blockchain.
Fortunately for me, onion routing (and recipient encryption) led you to a dead end! My money is not in his channel. He's just a routing node. You know *a* channel -- one you created (or a custodian created it, if you're using a custodian) -- just not the one with my money in it.
The rest of your routing info doesn't tell you much about what happened next. Does UnitedPlow have a direct channel to me? Maybe! Did it go through five more hops? Maybe! Was he a trampoline node, a decoy this whole time? Maybe!
You'll never know where the money ended up because lightning hides that info from the sender through multiple indecipherable layers of encryption. Unlike monero, which told me in plaintext. Lightning "receiver privacy" is simply designed better.
