I often hear one of the advantages of BOLT12 is that a static QR code can be used. Can’t a QR code be created for a Lightning address? Wondering what the differences are.

You need a webserver for a lightning address, with Bolt12 everything is handled by your lightning node itself.

So what are the pros and cons? Is BOLT12 viewed as better because it’s typically your own node whereas a Lightning address is typically custodial?

You know, I bookmarked this at one point. Thanks! 😄
