Too Long; Didn't Read

'Beam atomic swaps' are an 'over-the-counter' trade between one party and another; one buyer, one seller. This is a trade between two parties who want to swap different cryptocurrencies, without the requirement of a third party or intermediary to conclude the swap. Beam atomic swaps attempt to conceal all information possible, from any third party who might be intent on peering into your personal sovereignty. Unfortunately, as is the ongoing means of recording transactions on the BTC blockchain whilst using Bitcoin, and until the Bitcoin developers finally get around to reading the original Satoshi Nakamoto whitepaper, it will always be so.
