An LNURL server with Tor is 1 command to install Tor, 2 lines of config to set up the hidden services, 10 lines of code to build the LNURL endpoint.
You don't need centralized DNS, an IP, a reverse proxy, a dedicated web server.
This is not a post to make bolt12 look bad. I'm just working against the misinformation against LNURL.
"don't need a centralized DNS"
To be clear, Onion addresses are centralized by the fact that the Tor consensus is centralized.
This is wrong, onion addresses are just private-public key crypto, there's no consensus.
Nope. Onion addresses are useless without the Tor consensus, which is centralized.
If the Tor consensus signers go down, Tor itself goes down.
"Useless without consensus" doesn't make them centralized.
This is just semantic bikeshedding at this point. I just think the way you put it is just misleading. It's fair to call out Tor's shortcomings but I don't think onion addresses are the issue.
The claim was that LNURL over Tor had the property of not needing "centralized DNS":

Replacing centralized DNS with centralized Tor isn't a change in centralization level. That's why presenting it as such is misleading.
show us the code
Learn us please <3 what's the 10 lines? 🙏🙏🙏
