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.

You’re misreading the spec. Maybe ask someone who knows how things are implemented before running to nostr to post next time?

I appreciate the correction you offer in the post I reply to below, and I think this is a good recommendation: for good privacy, don't reuse a bolt12 or any other payment string across multiple services. Instead, make a new payment string for each service you use.

I also cross-posted your correction on twitter so that it gets more visibility:
