Lets pretend that I have a company. I'll call it cut throat industries. We are a box cutter testing firm. HR pays the employees biweekly Fridays. In the current way. Cut throat industries pays a single transaction with the company's treasury as the input and each employee payroll as an output. There is no address reuse because HR has a xpub provided by each employee for their payroll wallet. I have 120 employees.
The problem The concern is the competition of my precious company and employees seeing our worth and amount in our treasury account. This also exposes how many employees we have and an idea of what the average payroll is. One of my employees is Frank. Frank gets paid then a couple days later he buys some random thing that should not be talked about from a coworker. The coworker can observe Franks input and know what Frank makes. There is another time where cut throat industries is in a temporary financial clamp down. To save money my company is not giving bonuses for the rest of the fiscal year. But one employee of mine has done a very good job at cutting and I was afraid he was going to leave my agency if I did not make an exception for him. So I gave him a raise but not others. Employees notice that one of the 120 biweekly outputs is higher than usual. So they know someone got a raise. Problem summary I am paranoid because I run a company with my finances transparent to my competition and my employees. And my employees are starting to get concerned because their income is transparent to everyone also. These employees are dangerous and professional cutters. I don't want to upset them. What can I do to use bitcoin with privacy to eliminate these concerns? Lightning network is not much an option because they do not have inbound balance to get paid. I cannot front up funds of my own to give them inbound balance because it would consume all of my treasury to lock up funds. So it seems that I have to do payroll on chain. What do I do? -- lee.chif...@secmail.pro PGP 97F0C3AE985A191DA0556BCAA82529E2025BDE35 _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
