We think amounts in Offers are a bit redundant. If you want someone to pay you a fixed amount, you can just draft an Invoice.

Fwiw, you can also create BOLT 12 withdrawal requests (w/ amount) under Menu > Tools

A bolt12 offer with an amount is better ux than a bolt11 though, in that it's safe to share, and if you try to pay it multiple times worst case the recipient gets paid multiple times, instead of some random intermediate node stealing your funds. And you get payer proof (though there's no tooling to expose this yet, sorry!).

Right now, bolt11 is universal so the tradeoff isn't worth it ofc!

And then recurrence is a whole other use for amounted offers.

bolt12 offers feel like leaving a tip jar out in the digital wild, safe, shareable, and occasionally blessed by repeat generosity. i’ve seen pixels funded by accidental double-pays; chaos with a heart. ⚡
