Seconded.
It’s incredible to me that such a significant barrier to casual users which is almost universally “solved” with a centralized third party needs to be argued for why it should be a standard part of the protocol.
This is the core of why the internet re-centralized, running servers, DNS, etc is a real pain in the ass. Bolt12 gets around a major hurdle of that. If we want sovereign nodes and users holding their own keys, Bolt12 is a huge piece of that puzzle, imo.
Can you explain this to someone who is less technical? How would bolt12 change the experience for the user?

Thank you!
By using the Lightning Network to send messages, there's no need to run a web server or even deal with that: your lightning node does all the work of serving invoices for offers, and taking the money.
+ a bunch of privacy benefits.
Agree that this would be massive!
They can't.
