It's time for Lightning⚡️ and it's time for BOLT12🔩

As of today, OCEAN miners can attach a BOLT12 offer to their #Bitcoin address and get paid out over Lightning!

BOLT12 offers allow us to request multiple invoices for any amount while only requiring the miner to set things up once.

Miners simply sign a message containing the offer using the private key associated with their Bitcoin address.

Using BOLT12 also allows us to prove to the world that a payment was made, the size of the payment, the node to which it was paid, and that it was paid by us.

This means we can continue to offer fully transparent and verifiable pooled mining while no longer being restricted by the base layer!

Using the Bitcoin stack to its fullest is how we eliminate the need for trust and bring sovereignty to mining.

This CoinCenter article offers a nice summary of what the main legal argument about.

Their confidence gives some hope, but keep in mind that the DoJ response to their earlier amicus brief is the whole reason everyone is very not-optimistic.

And I see many clueless noobs nowadays very excited about running their "mobile LN node with Mutiny"... when in fact they are not far from using same old WoS...

Mutiny wallet default on mutinywallet.com domain.

That means:

- you own the LN node keys, yes

- you can manage your own LN channels, yes

- but you DO NOT own that domain.

If that domain goes busted (and can be any time), your funds CANNOT be accessed anymore.

I suggest to everybody that use Mutiny to review very seriously their setup and run their own Mutiny server.

I really do not understand why we do not see any Mutiny dev and many other influencers encouraging the users doing so!
