 I’m excited for bolt12 and the possibilities in store. I love using this freedom technology. I too want to help build out a better future enabled with bitcoin. I love your passion for privacy and helping others. You’re one of my favorite voices in the space. 

You probably already know this, but LN implementations need improvements to provide real privacy gains for receiving sats. For example I can look at these 3 addresses and in seconds have a good guess about what node stack/implementations you’re using for each and even see UTXO history in same cases.

1) Phoenix Wallet bolt12
2) bolt12 CLN on startOS w/ an announced channel w/ visible on chain UTXO history.
3) BTCPay LNURL with LND? … maybe the same startOS server. Again with an announced channel w/ visible on chain history. 
 100% correct on all fronts. Good thing is the on chain 'leakage' is from Postmix coins. Not quite as easy to achieve these days unfortunately, but that was the impetus for my recent LN native buy/spend/save flow.

I'm monitoring your thread about default blinded paths apparently not being default. I too fell for the same assumption. 
 I thought CLN had full support for bolt12. Seems like it doesn’t support blinded routes for offers best I can tell. Strange considering a main contributor to the CLN implementation is the author of bolt12. 
 And I personally regret not mixing more while I had the opportunity. I assumed wrongly I’d always be able to mix in the future. 
 Delve into JM while fees are low! 
 ya, mmmm 
 why i like Mixing @ meetups/still issues but ways around them p2p
