we could implement it but it wouldn't have zaps, as there is no spec for that yet. the only usecase I can see is profile tipping with no-zap? That's not a huge priority for us.

One thing we could do is make a spec for adding a bolt12 to your profile, but we would still need some code that connects to the lightning network and fetches a bolt12 invoice from a bolt12 offer.

This is a nontrivial amount of work for a feature most people won't use, not to mention passing bolt12 invoices for payment wouldn't work for most wallets yet, or even any NWC wallet.

I guess you could just pass the offer to a lightning wallet and let them handle it, what wallets currently support paying bolt12 offers, just phoenix ?

I only know of Phoenix for now, at least on iOS. I imagined a first implementation exactly like that, just pass off the offer.

I just think creators want to get paid, but some also really need to protect their privacy, and the current system puts them at an impasse, especially technical newcomers.
