Hey nostriches, BOLT 12: yay or nay? Why?
I'm leaning towards nay, but I need to do much more learning about lightning. It would be my dream for opposing strong technical minds to debate this in some long-form medium.
Yay, because privacy.
Yes, reusable private QR codes are extremely useful. Also, the payer has the ability to prove that they are the ones paying is a nice feature
Until I see it in action, indifferent
It's clunky and we don't need it anymore.
YAY BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL BE NEEDED FOR LIGHTNING PAYOUTS ON @OCEAN 👀
Yay because Bolt 12 enables common payment modes that don’t presently exist on lightning
Yay. It sucks having to run a bunch of extra services to accept lud16 payments. Additionaly a lightning address requires dns records pointing to registered domains and can be a privacy problem. #bolt12 #wtf_lnd?
Yay for reasons galore.
Yay. Bolt 12 is *the* top priority on the lightning roadmap afaic. If Zeus implements Bolt 12, then it will become my default lightning wallet.
Do you run a CLN node?
Only insofar as I have Green wallet on one of my devices, which is backended by Greenlight. I've been travelling for a while but the last node ran I was *cough* LND *cough* which liked to crash into a corrupt config without the ability to regain a stable state... to the extent that I started to wonder whether that behaviour is LND's main feature. (Lost some sats, but a useful lesson, and interesting to learn about Lightning Labs links with the WEF) CLN will be the next implementation that I run; I have a project in mind, so very keen to further experiment with Greenlight. N.B. I'm a product guy and not a dev.
