CLINK, BOLT12, mobile nodes, "routing nodes don't exist"
What's the BS wrapper?
reply
"proven too unreliable" in 2024 when the major lightning implementation did not support and still does not have complete support for BOLT12 yet?
I read this last year, shook my head, and ignored everything else you said, including CLINK as a whole.

As @justin_shocknet has always warned, I have found that the onion messaging aspect of bolt12 is very unreliable.
And you're factually wrong, LND did support onion messages, so lack of support has not been a factor in its reliability. It's network engineering 101 that you don't add latency and failure probability, which is exactly what bolt12 does.
I think what you ascribe to being BS are facts that undermine your priors.
Just noticed the stealth edit on routing nodes too, that's derivative from Bosworth himself.

I‘m sure every network protocol was still unreliable when it was being rolled out and got better over time.
@supertestnet‘s quote is one year old.

lol, "stealth edit", I edit my comments all the time to add more when I still have time. Bad UX though, I agree.

It wasn't just being rolled out, it had been in implementations for years, was clearly mature enough in their view to be made an official BOLT at that time.
The simple fact is its a stupid design, I pointed that out for years because of it's Tor nature.
So it clearly wasn't BS, it's been consistent messaging that's 100% true, you just didn't like it because you assumed the the dummies that pushed for it were competent and/or not gaslighting assholes.

That's a function of your lack of discernment, particularly where my non-BS has been consistently right and theirs consistently wrong.
Ever wonder why those dummies don't step into the thunderdome here? Hint: Because their ideas are shit and indefensible.
