Human-readable BOLT 12 offers
Probably the most asked-for feature from human rights activists
What was once a dream is becoming reality
Bullish!!!

Human-readable BOLT 12 offers? What did I miss?
Humans can read a long string of characters and numbers 😜
Consider people who only have feature phones and can’t do copy paste or QR
They could whisper it in Morse code and the phone mic could parse it 😜😂
And we always get each character exactly correct without stressing about it! 😂 I'll spell my offer out loud to you if we ever meet nout.
I'm probably late to the BOLT12 party, but enjoying this site: https://bolt12.org
Yeah that page is a very good introduction to BOLT 12! But a bolt 12 offer is just a string of letters and numbers so I was specifically wondering about the "human readable" part 🤙 I've posted multiple offers on nostr over the past couple of years but nobody has ever used them 😂 Seems like there is more of a push on offers now though.
From Phoenix Wallet? I just saw another note about this.
Shilling the HRF FF newsletter!
What wallets can pay BOLT12 offers besides Phoenix?
Great question. Check out Zeus? More to come.
That's very cool. Just claimed my Phoenix address. But the wallet you send from must support bolt12 as well. So I guess, only Phoenix to Phoenix is possible for the time being. If anyone wants to try, you can bolt12 zap me at this address: suddenawe96@phoenixwallet.me
True, although caution is advised, the human-readable address comes with less privacy, since a DNS service is being used their IP addresses may be exposed, if they are activists and in potential danger they should understand the risk
