not sure, right now BOLT12 Pay is a lightning only tool, but will for sure investigate this.
I am not so familiar with silent payments yet but let me dig into this, but a as I understood craig raw is exploring adding a DNS record to a silent payment bitcoin addrress similar to a lightning address, this should be possible, but isn't a developed protocol yet as I understood, right?
Wich onchain wallet did you want to integrate? Best would be to import on chain funktions from the lnd chain wallet first. Sorry I didn'd get back earlier since I was fixing another Bolt12 related bug for BOLT12 Pay and LND 0.21.1 on umbrel, now PR is open and everything is fixed for LND 0.21.1
My thought is something far simpler (I think..and I am no coder so may not be the case):
Simply a way to include in the alias bip 353 a silent payment field that the user can input the silent payment address into(but specific to the alias). So, that when the alias is published that address would be included and wallets with the ability to send to silent payment addresses would hopefully be able to find the address and use it from the bip 353 address.
For example, I have the alias bonjour@thatwhichisnotseen.st that I use and it'd be great if that included a silent payment address in there too.
Especially useful in 'privacy mode'...if i were to be able to create an alias that has just a bolt12 offer and silent payment address that would be an awesome step in bitcoin towards users having an easy way to receive payments privately both on-chain and on lightning.
You mean just manually adding a silent payment address to the alias page? So you can share it? This would be just a field for entering a normal bitcoin address, right? That should be easy. Would make it optional.
@Alex71btc is there a possibility where silent payment address can be added to the aliases for your bolt12 service ?

The example I would compare it to is this bip 353 experiment -- www.twelve.cash. Here is their github -- https://github.com/ATLBitLab/twelvecash

correct, that's what I was thinking.
