This is why keysend and AMP are both important, and, by all the fiat-encapsulated dev shops, deprecated.

They try to tell everyone that LN nodes sharing their ID keys is in some way harmful, yet without that you can't send payments to them without first confessing to them what your LN identity key is.

That is fishy, if you ask me.

The path is onion style, but they deliberately waffle and prevaricate you into giving away your endpoint's address, which makes the entire thing of using onion layers kinda nutty, like, peanut butter and lavender oil mixed together. Can't tell if food or concealed poop.
