Who controls the "Payment Hub" in tumblebit?

Is it another protocol or company or is there something else / someone else involved?

  • I believe you're misunderstanding something. The payment hub is just part of the TumbleBit scheme. Its operator controls it.

The notion is that anyone with sufficient Bitcoins to act as collateral for the payment channels could setup a TumbleBit payment hub. This would likely be a company.

The more users a TumbleBit payment hub has the greater the privacy and utility offered so one would expect a small number of payment hubs with many users.
