Maybe next time folks will use private protocols, but hey, I don’t get to decide what people use.

If only there existed a lightning native way to post a static, reusable address where the destination route can be blinded. 🤔
It's too bad such a thing doesn't exist for most LN users.
🔥
Are blinded paths possible with BOLT11?
Could it be added as a stand-alone feature? Or would it depend on other things that only come with BOLT12?
Saw it mentioned in the LND repo, but as a sub-task of adding full BOLT12.
How far is BOLT12? Not done yet, right?
Shipping in CLN+eclair now, Phoenix soon, LDK Very Soon
It's been usable as a draft experiment with CLN for years. Soon interoperable implementations and the finalized standard happen. If you used the previous BOLT12 draft you'd only need to update your static address after the new standard. Hence bolt12.org warned don't get the QR tattoo.
