i dont really understand how taproot assets work, i wonder if Tether will be able to "prove" to the US regulators that the coins on the lightning network are compliant with standards/AML stuff.

If taproot assets have similar privacy to lightning, i don't see how that can be the case.

Wouldnt be shocked if "regulatory clarity" and pressure from the feds would make them stop.

Great question. I don't know why it's a thing. I also don't know why LND decided to pursue taproot assets on lightning over something like BOLT 12. 🤷‍♂️

BOLT12 is all lightning needs from a user perspective. That's why they'll never do it lol

Perhaps it's time for people and projects to jump ship from LND... Any recommendations?

Because that’s where the payday is.

Seems like that's the truth. Now why hasn't Primal, for example, not supported BOLT 12 offers? Or am I blind?

It’s not Primal that’s in control of that. Their wallet is built on Strike. Until they implement it, and other wallets and nodes also support it, it won’t happen.

Ah, there's the bottleneck.

It’s not Strike’s fault per se. LND, the most common implementations for Lightning nodes doesn’t support it either.

“Can devs do something?!”

I've known about Core Lightning's implementation of bolt 12 and some of the other ones. I just wish LND would get on with it and implement it. Same with Strike. It's on the wallets and node implementations to do it and that's the bottleneck. Well, technically the bottleneck is time, hard work, or both.
