[Silent Payment]

It is a bit early, but I want to put out this idea:

Silent Payment Receiver and Forwarder

Bitcoin silent payment (BIP352) receiving is a bit tricky, therefore I expect that it will take some time until some wallets implement it. For the meantime, a forwarder could be very useful.

A separate app, that holds the scanning/spending keys, scans transactions from a node (ideally own node). Whenever it detects a new incoming payment it forwards it to a ‘regular’ address (descriptor/Xpub-based, no privkey needed, no address reuse). Forwarded payments can be processed with any usual bitcoin wallet.

I wonder about security and privacy considerations of such a scheme, but I don't see a show-blocker.

I see one downside: the forwarding has some fee. Also, the scanning/spending keys have to be kept securely. A subset would be an app that only does notification.
