Did you know bolt12 only lets you have a static qr code if you reuse the same pubkey again and again? This is bad for your privacy and allows companies like Chainalysis to offer a transaction monitoring tool for lightning. Bolt12 considered harmful.

Maybe I'm being dramatic, but this sounds dire.

Especially if it can reduce sender privacy 🤯😥
